There should be at least one of today's date (if you've booted today).
RBbad.cab can be very old. But none should have a higher date than
today's date! These (except RBbad.cab) are supposed to drop away as they
get old-- but you'd have to wait for the future date to be reached for a
future one to go on its own!


Thanks for this thought. There were three there that had ridiculous
dates of Dec 2009.

How do I get rid of those three?

Make them older than today & eventually they will delete on their own. A
new one is created on the 1st boot per day. When that happens (if there
are more than 5 not counting RBBAD) the oldest is automatically deleted.
To get more than one per day, you must "START, Run, ScanReg" on your
own. That will ask you whether to create another.

By the way, I've been playing a bit with SetFileDate. Well, I was wrong
about Created Date getting changed simply by moving a file to a new
folder. It seems both Created Date & Modified Date remain the same in
the circumstance. Sheesh! So-- good thing for SetFileDate! Thanks again
for that!

To get Created Date to be the current date, move it out & then back in

error message, though, if it sees the Created Dated to be later than
the current date. If so, run ScanDisk first. That will set Created
Date to 01-01-1980.

Well, that appears to be untrue-- sorry! Windows won't change Created
Date on a file moved from folder to folder. And it doesn't give an error
message, either, if it's greater than today's date!

can I just delete the three with the ridiculous dates?

I tried START/RUN/ScanReg six time in a row and I have three with Dec
2009 and only the two recent ones have the immediate times on them

How to get rid of those three?

Yes. New ones will auto-create at each 1st boot per day, as I said
earlier. You'll get to 5 again that way. When 5 is reached, it will be
maintained by an auto-delete of the oldest. It is very important for the
oldest to be older than the current date!

I tried START/RUN/ScanReg six time in a row and I have three with Dec
2009 and only the two recent ones have the immediate times on them

That proves it: They are protected from auto-deletion until their future
date is reached. Either delete them, or use that SetFileDate to make
their Modified Dates (& possibly their Created Dates also) to be dates
older than today, as I said earlier.
