About this tag
Discussions tagged with 'file c' on WindowsForum.com explore how Windows file system timestamps behave during save and copy operations. A common scenario involves tracking the created, modified, and accessed dates when a file is copied to a different hard drive, resulting in a new file (file C) with updated creation and access timestamps but retaining the original modification date. Users ask whether such copies can be restored to an earlier version or if the original creation date can be recovered. These threads help clarify Windows file metadata management for users managing backups or version histories.
