The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 98
- Microsoft Windows 95
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
This article was previously published under Q191681 SYMPTOMS
When you view the properties of a file in Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT, the file's modified date may be earlier than the create date.
CAUSE
This issue can occur if the file was copied to a Windows 95-based, Windows 98-based, or Windows NT-based computer. When you copy a file to a Windows 95-based, Windows 98-based, or Windows NT-based computer, the current date becomes the "Create" date of the file and the date that is currently on the file becomes the "Modified" date.
