How can I print file data information in WinXP?

When I look at a file in Explore it shows me the name, date modified, date
created,etc and if right click I can choose other information to display.

I found a file I need for a court case and I need to be able to print these
things especially the date it was created.

Is there software or some other way that I can print all the file's metadata
to show to someone?

Thanks

What does printing the date created prove. You can change a date created
to whatever you want. Simply change the bios date and then copy your
file. So you see printing proves nothing.

Take a screenshot. Alt + Print Screen will capture the active window. Then
paste into any graphics program, like MS Paint. You can print from there.

However, you should be aware that unless this is a very unsophisticated
court case (possibly something occurring in Small Claims Court), your
"evidence" will not hold up because generally accepted computer forensics
procedures were not followed. In short, if the computer has been in use you
cannot prove it hasn't been tampered with. Check with your attorney and/or
a certified computer forensics firm for more information.

Re: File information

That has all the legal standing as a picture of your watch to prove when
something happened.

Re: File information


This is a very small case and it would be helpful to me. I once had a friend
who won a case because he brought in a letter that he claimed he faxed to
somone, without even having the confirmation sheet, and the judge believed it.

Small cases are not sophisticated and are looking for the fastest way to get
the case over. Any evidence is considered when trying to resolve the case
quickly.

So if you know how to print this information that would be more helpful.

I already told you. Simply copying/pasting the same reply to everyone
instead of reading the answers you got isn't useful.

ALL evidence submitted to a court is presumed valid and true unless objected
to in a timely fashion.

You are correct in that this bit of paper may not hold up but it's worth the
effort to give opposing counsel an opportunity to make a mistake.

Nevertheless it's fair comment.
