As these files are open and in use whenever Windows is
running the date and time properties are arbitrary and
could changes at any time.

Multiple dat files (ie:system.dat & user.dat)change
during
the operation of any application. It has been my
experience that these dat files will change date and time
when the computer is booted, but not during use. Could
someone tell me if this is normal, or is something else
going on here? No viruses or spyware...
