Hi Ignatz The following is taken directly from my Win32 Reference:
A file time represents the specific date and time at which a given file was
created, last accessed, or last written to. Windows records file times whenever
applications create, access, and write to files. Windows records the times using
a 64-bit value specifying the number of 100-nanosecond intervals that have
elapsed since 12:00 A.M. January 1, 1601 (UTC). Writing to a file changes the
last write time; writing to or reading from the file (including running an
executable file) changes the last access time.
So the filtetime structure is not a structure at all in fact, rather it is
simply a big counter. I have no idea how long it will run before it reaches its
maximum number but when it does I suppose it will just reset to 0 again.
Actually theres an interesting thought I wonder what sort of time span this 64
bit number can cover?
