You could set the date/time back on the machine, and then access the file, thus giving it an earlier file date...

That's kind of a ghetto solution, but it may work.

Look for a "touch" command that will work on NTFS. I know it exists.

But, the important thing is, which way is he wanting to change it? Is he trying to make it look like the file hadn't been accessed later than a specific date, or does he just want to make the date different from what it is?
