Displaying file times to the second
I'd like to compare the time stamps of two files that were created a
few seconds apart. Unfortunately, the Windows Explorer only shows the time to the nearest minute. And the "properties" view is even worse -- it shows "2 hours ago" (it was actually 78 minutes ago). The DIR command also gives time only to the minute. Is there any way to get the file times to the second? The files were created on a FAT memory card, so the times should have 2-second precision. -- Ray (remove the Xs to reply)

On NTFS XYplorer can even show the milliseconds in file times. http://www.xyplorer.com/ Don

Strangely enough, the "Properties" dialog now shows the times to the second for some mysterious reason. Maybe it only does that "2 hours ago" nonsense until the files reach a certain age. -- Ray (remove the Xs to reply)

Can't help with this mystery, but I can show you how a file list showing msecs does look. Lots of numbers...: http://www.xyplorer.com/images/filetimes-msec.png Don
