Dat files change date and 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... |

Dat files change date and time
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. -----Original Message----- Multiple dat files (ie:system.dat & user.dat)change during the operation of any application.

No viruses or spyware... The time stamp for user.dat is immediately updated when I open a document file. System.dat is unaffected. If I use regedit.exe to edit the registry, then the time stamp for system.dat is updated, but user.dat is unaffected. - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 's' from my address when replying by email. |

Dat files change date and time
the answer is simple, some of the registry resides in user.dat and some of it
in system.dat both files don't need to be updated on every minor change best regards, Costea Bogdan "Franc Zabkar" wrote: On Wed, 4 Aug 2004 15:40:59 -0700, "Lori" put finger to keyboard and composed: Multiple dat files (ie:system.dat & user.dat)change during the operation of any application.
