For Software of the Day #4, we are showcasing Attribute Changer, which lets you modify the metadata of a file that contains the time the file was created, modified, and last accessed.

Suppose we have an essay that was meant to be finished on October 26, 2022, but the day is October 27th, 2022.

To use Attribute Changer to modify this metadata, simply right click the file and click “Change Attributes.”

A window will show up.

The timestamps are not the only things we can change. We can also make the file a hidden file (meaning it will only show up if a user has the option to show hidden files enabled in File Explorer), a system file (meaning it will only show up if the user shows system files in File Explorer), a read-only file, and a few other things.

We are mainly going to worry about changing the timestamps. Simply change the timestamps to your liking.

Once you’re done with that, simply click Apply and click yes to the warning that shows up.

That’s pretty much it! If you want to download Attribute Changer, feel free to do so here: https://www.petges.lu/download/
