Date column - which date is it?

[terrypin]

The column heading in Win 10 File Explorer is 'Date'. but WHICH date is it?

The default in XP was 'Date modified', but it seems that here it's Date created?

From what I can tell on my PC's [Date] and [Date created] are identical

If you click "View" and then "Add columns", you will see that you can have date created and "Date"(of origin)
Date created is a little misleading. It is, in reality, the date it (ie. the program or file) was first installed

Thanks both. Same here: 'Date' = 'Date created'.

IMO, Date Modified is a much more useful default, as it changes with every edit.

Mine displays the date (last saved to) it was modified. If the folder has never been modified then the date displayed would be the date it was created.

For files, it's date modified. At least it is on my systems
