Perhaps you have that timestamp update turned off? http://www.windowsnetworking.com/nt/registry/rtips71.shtml Here is some mroe info. http://www.xxcopy.com/xxcopy15.htm If you google search on "windows file timestamps" you will find lots of info.... Apparently it is up to the application to update the "Accessed" timestamp so it's not consistently updated as the system maintained Created and modified timestamps are.
