Hi,

There is one existing property that might be sufficient for your needs: "Date Created" is a DateTime
which is set by Windows when the file gets created, and isn't modified afterwards. Internally it is stored as a 32-bit integer (often/always? with a resolution of 2 seconds), but Explorer won't show it as an integer, it will display numbers for year, day, hours, minutes, maybe month, typically not seconds.

So you could store a few small numbers in it: some range in the year, [1-31] in the day (assuming a long month), [0-23] in hours, [0-59] in minutes.

Smile | :)

PS: when abusing Date Created, make sure there isn't any app (such as a backup utility) relying on the standard meaning of Date Created; I would hope such software relies on Date Modified, but I suggest you check that anyway.
