How to see the Date that a file was originally created?

Post by Mark2583 »

On a Win 11 desktop PC, using LITE version 6.1.0.2,
I downloaded some files that were attached to an email from two years ago,
and in the Details view, xplorer2 only shows today's date.
I want to see that date from about two years ago.
I added columns "Created" & "Date Created" & "Content Created" & "Date Acquired" & "Date Taken " & "Date Completed" & "Date Archived" & "Date Last Saved" & "Date Released" and even "Copyright".
?!
Thanks, people.

date created is related to THIS file, not the file it was copied from (or attached) originally.
exceptionally for JPG photos, "date taken" would give you the information you want, but not for generic files
