...true, but by using the touch.exe utility from the W2K Resource Kit, you
can change the date of a file back to whatever you want.

Just a quick note on hiding using data streams...

While the streams themselves are transparent, creating an alternate data
stream does alter the modified date of the "parent" file.

I was wondering if there's a way to hide a file under windows 2000

"show all files" and so on. I want to hide a file but I want to be
able to run the file only when I know exactly where it is
and what is
the file name.

use the file streams. h carvey has written some nice documentation on
this:
