When you click on properties for a file, it shows you "Created" "modified" and "accessed" dates. I'm confused about how the accessed date works because for some of my files it shows an old date when I know the file has been accessed since then? Is it just the last date the file has been opened? Then how come the date isn't correct on a bunch of files?
