batch script that tells me when was the last time a file has been accessed

Question

I have a list of sales orders in a folder. I want a batch script that can output into a txt file, when were all the files last accessed but not necessarily modified.

Answer 1

Last Access has been turned off by default for many years.

This command shows the setting of any computer you are interested in.

fsutil behavior query disablelastaccess

For using lastaccess - programs that don't open a file under user direction (eg search indexers, icon extractors like explorer, property sheets, etc) have to go back and restore last access to what it was before they opened it.
