I want to creat a bat file that will creat a log file of files that has been added to a computers "c" drive after a spacific date, eg what files have been added after 20/12/01.

thanks!

Well I tryed to make a batch-script and guess what: I found out that I have files
on My computer that properties says they are Modified: 12. august 2031 05:00:30 !?,
others: Modified: 15. januar 2038 12:38:38, & even files that claims to be modified
as far as: Modified: 4. desember 2039 05:36:04. Hmm could someone explain that ??
Could it be some kind of virus that messes up the filedates ?? Anyway.. to use the
script I made: U MUST be sure U use the correct DATE-FORMAT to the XCOPY32-
switch D: (like yy/MM/dd or else) !! To find out and /or change the time-format go to:
Controlpanel >Properties for Regional Settings >Short Timeformat >exampel: dd.mm.yy
Do ONLY use below script under WIN, but NEVER use it from a pure DOS environment !!

Forget My above script, I revised that script because of the new info I found
just after writing it. Now the BELOW script works exellent, check it out.. :-)
(Copy/paste/save it as "FileList.bat". Note: ONLY run it in WIN and NOT from DOS!).
