I used this program a few years ago, and just discovered version v5.30. The only thing I felt was missing was the ability to save the date/time of my choice as a default to use whenever I wanted--without having to refill all those fields every single time. But there is a way, and it works on (at least) v5.23 and v5.30. Here's the tip: use "Relative Adjustments", then "Settings", then under "Relative File Date/Time Adj.", put zeros in the three offset choices, and tick the box for "Use date limit." Enter the EXACT same month, date, and year for BOTH fields, and tick the "Apply Limitation Date." Now do the same for the "Time" tab at the top. The program saves your settings in "Relative Adjustments" for the next time. I know that's not what this function is for, but it does give the user the option to change the date/time to the same thing every time you use the program. Great software.

Changing attributes can't be easier than with this tool. In the beginning, after installation, I tried to open the program on the start menu, but I couldn't find it. Until I realized that it can be found when right-clicking a file. Changing file attributes is therefore simple as anything. Recommended! Good job.

Apart from the usual Attributes change, this program will let you shift the "Time" Attribute of your files by a certain amount (+1 hour, -1 hour ..etc). This is most helpful for backups updates based on Time Attribute. When PC time is changed (Winter / Summer), Time of files on Hard Drive is shifted. Time of backed-up files on an external storage is not shifted accordingly. This creates havoc. This program can then be used to re-synchronize time between the Hard Drive and the Backup.

Not something you need often, but it's there on the right-click explorer menu when you need it. Easy to remove the "read-only" setting of all files copied from CD since it will recurse folders. Similar with changing file and folder dates, etc.
