    Changing the Creation date of a file


    hello guys,
    I have a question,we have an external hard disk that some files and folders are created there,suppose someone with a third party tool (like Attribute Changer) modified the creation date of files or folders,is there any way to find the original creation date of these files or folders?
    windows is seven
    Thanks

    The file system does not maintain any kind of history of date changes. Once the creation date (or any other data) has been changed the original date is lost.
