Date and Time Formats for Displaying File Times

File Date and Time Formats

These formats tell FileBoss how to display file times. Most notably these file times are seen in the Modified, Accessed and Created columns in the contents window of any view. The format for each of these columns can be set separately.

To set the formats use the Options | Program Options... command from the main menu (or click its command button) and select Date Formats from the list of option pages on the left side.

Default Formats

If a format is blank the dialog controls will display dates and times in a format determined by how your version of Windows is setup.
