Lnk files

Hi,

On windows you have a "recent" folder (example C:\Documents
and...\user\recent) which contains .lnk files.
What operation on windows can cause the property "Date Accessed" on
multiple files in this directory to change timestamp, but the "Date
Modified" and "Date Created" are not altered?

When using roaming profiles the "Date Created" is also changed so that
is not the case. A search doesn't either generate this phenomenon. And
not AV scans.

Appreciate your thoughts and ideas.

/ Alex
