A tool that alters file information such as dates

File Mod was built to help you change file information. It mostly concentrates on changing dates to different dates or changing file dates back to their origination dates.

Change the details of your files

File Mod is a tool that is able to modify file details for a small number of file types. For example, you may have a movie file that has downloadable tag information on it, so you may use this tool to change the date on the file so that it looks like you have had the file a lot longer than you really have. It has severe limitations with regards to getting it working, but your chances for success are increased if you manually turn off the “Read-only” setting on your file before putting it through this app. Tips such as that should have been included in some sort of manual/instruction PDF, as some sort of FAQ/troubleshooting information may have helped the many people who were not able to get this app working.

A very basic and overpriced tool

File Mod is a tool that allows you to change and alter file details, but it doesn't do it by making copies, which means IT professionals can reverse lookup the original file details. Furthermore, getting the app to work is very tough and often requires either the use of older operating systems or some form of backwards compatibility function. Plus, there are many file types that it simply cannot alter.
