I'm trying to figure out exactly when I created a file. Windows 7 thinks I don't know how to subtract two times, and tells me it was created "1 hour ago." I need a little more detail than this, but I can't seem to find a setting to toggle this "feature" off.

Example below:

You can also enable the Date Created column in Explorer:

Found this interesting question on the subject: Windows 7, file properties, date modified, how do you show seconds?

In my opinion, extending the properties window with something like SKTimeStamp is easier than opening the shell every time (see the bottom 2 screenshots in their google code site).

You always have the option of using the dir /T command in the command prompt. Shows exact time and dates.

I found XDir, a command line utility. http://download.cnet.com/XDir/3000-2248_4-10508433.html . You can decide what file properties are listed.

e.g.

XDir L:\luajit-2.0\src* "/Form=*f *O *o *d *t"

that shows a filename , creation date and modification date exactly
