This article contains additional information about the WIN32_FIND_DATA
members.
The WIN32_FIND_DATA structure contains three members that store the
creation, last access, and last write time of a file. The time format
for these three members (ftCreationTime, ftLastAccessTime, and
ftLastWriteTime) are expressed in the Universal Time Convention (UTC).
These three data members can be converted from UTC time to local time by
calling the FileTimeToLocalFileTime api.
The WIN32_FIND_DATA structure contains two members that store the file
size: nFileSizeHigh and nFileSizeLow. They are described as being the high
and low order words of the size, but they are actually DWORDs. Therefore,
nFileSizeHigh will be zero unless the file size is greater than 0xffffffff
(4.2 Gig).
