Date Edit 1.0

Date Edit is a shell extension for Windows 95/98/NT that enables you to change the date and time of your files from inside the Windows Explorer. All you have to do is to open the Windows Explorer, right-click the item(s) of interest and choose Edit Date in the context menu.

The Date Edit shell extension is very easy to use and it lets you choose the new date of your files from a fancy calendar. The only restriction on using Date Edit is that it requires you to have the Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 or later installed on your computer because it needs the system libraries distributed by the Microsoft Internet Explorer.

This version of Date Edit is the first release of the product. If you encounter any problems or difficulties using the Date Edit shell extension or if you have suggestions for future releases please do not hesitate to drop us a few lines by e-mail.

This product is freeware.
