file timestamps
About this tag
File timestamps are crucial for diagnosing issues like virus attacks, as they help track when files were created or modified. In Windows 7, the default DIR command displays time only to the minute, which may lack the precision needed for forensic analysis. Users seeking seconds or milliseconds can turn to PowerShell, which provides timestamps down to milliseconds. This tag covers discussions on displaying and interpreting file timestamps in Windows, including command-line tools like DIR and PowerShell, and the limitations of Explorer's timestamp precision.
