title: Change file creation date on Windows with PHP
body: <p>In php I can change the file <em>last modification</em> and <em>access time</em> arbitrarily with <code>touch()</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  touch($filename,mktime(0,0,0,2010,1,10));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>...but how to change the <strong>creation time</strong>?</p>
  
  <p><em>Why do I need this?</em> Well, If I retrodate a file or a directory mtime to <em>before</em> their creation date, <code>explorer.exe</code> keeps showing me the more recent creation date instead.</p>
