Info:
There are also a number of other timestamps in Windows that are used for certain file types or under certain circumstances. For example, a time stamp for the shooting date is recorded when pictures are taken with a camera. Other timestamps can be created and used by certain applications. For example, the backup software can use a time stamp for the date of archiving, and some Office applications use a time stamp for the date of completion to mark a finished document.
