File's Creation Time and Date Information Is Incorrect

• Microsoft Windows 98

SYMPTOMS

When you view a file's creation time and date information, either or both the hour and date may be incorrect. Also, the time information may refer to a time or day in the future. Note that the minute information may be correct.

CAUSE

This issue can occur if you view creation time and date information for a file from a different time zone. Creation date and time information for a file is based on the local time for the current computer's time zone. For example, if you transfer a file from one time zone to another, it may appear to a remote viewer that the file's creation time and date information is incorrect.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
