About this tag
Discussions tagged with 'file b' on WindowsForum.com explore how Windows file system handles metadata like creation, modification, and access dates during copy and save operations. In a detailed example, users examine what happens when a file is copied to a new location: the copy date becomes the new creation and access dates, while the original modification date is preserved.

These threads help users understand file versioning and date behavior in Windows 7 and later systems.
