I need to know if there is a way to change the created/modified/accessed times in dos. I know its possible in windows 95 but I can't find anything in dos or windows 3.1 that goes beyond accessed. Any help would be appreciated.

FD.EXE (File Date) which is part of Norton Utilities for DOS will do what you want. Download a copy of Norton Utilities 4.5a from:
http://www.powerload.fsnet.co.uk/msdos.htm
This was designed for MS-DOS 4.01/5.0 and has utilities such as Speedisk (Same as Defrag) and many other DOS utilities.

Thank you for trying to help, but unfortunately I've tried it before and it only modifies one of the three time stamps. My search continues.

One of the reasons for that is that DOS only acceses the File date and not the Modified Dates. But I think Norton will still do what you want, but with NU.exe and edit the file info direct!
