If I specify dir in DOS I get the date of creation. I want the original date. This is because I want to read the date via the screen. Is it possible to get another date via DIR?
What's the difference between date of creation and original date?
The terminology is confusing, and I don't think it is consistent,
but the command dir /? shows all the switches that can be used
with dir, and to my surprise I see that there are three switches
for changing the date output:
/tc Creation
/ta Last Access
/tw Last Written
Creation date appears to be what you want. "Last Written"
is the default, and using /tc I'm getting earlier dates.

With original date I mean the date I filled in for a jpg file (with properties/details) . When I use Windows 7 to list the directory with jpg files I see this date.
When using doscommand DIR I see another date. Neither using /TA, TW nor TC gives me the wanted result. Is there another way of getting this date in a file I can read.
Thanks for your reply.

It sounds like you are talking about a field in the EXIF data which
is stored in the jpg file itself, not in the directory table. You would
need a program which reads the EXIF data that you want out of
each jpg file.
