    restore file creation date to the date in EXIF

    How do I restore the file created date (windows) to the created date in EXIF?

    I have thousands and thousands of photos. Over the years, the file created date has changed. It is no longer the date in EXIF. What is the easiest way to restore the file created date to the date in EXIF?

    When saving a file, I found an option named "Save file with original date/time". I checked it and saved a photo. The file created date did not change. It was still 2015 when the year in EXIF is 2011. Well, actually, it did work but kind of strange. The file created date was 2015 but the modified date was 2011. So, the file was first modified before it had been created.

    Can Irfanview change the file created date?

    A very quick explanation: link

    Over the years, it will happen again.

    Edit:
    A thread from ExifTool forum, pointing to these instructions.
