Creation date later than modified date (“date modified” less than “date created”)
In Word XP the creation date of a document can be later than the modified date when saved elsewhere. Microsoft says
“When the document is copied or is saved to a new location, a new file is created. This file is generated by a parent file that has the earlier “Modified” date. This parent file also has an earlier “Created” date. “

When you copy or re-save a document, the “Created” date is updated in the Statistics tab and in the General tab. However, the “Modified” date is not updated.”

* Turn off Last Modified timestamping
Whenever XP reads a file, it stamps the file with the date and time of the access.

This feature has its place but is not required for normal use unless you rely on the date of last access for backup purposes, which is a rare requirement for most backups. Putting a timestamp on a file that has just been read means that a write access has to be made to disk, so every time a read is executed, a corresponding write is also executed.

At the command prompt, enter the following then reboot:

> FSUTIL behavior set disablelastaccess 1

To turn timestamps back on, repeat the command but replace the 1 with 0.

*Update
It appears the FSUTIL is XP Pro and server only.

Have you encountered one or more of the many annoying habits of MS word?

1) Always capitalizing your first word in the sentence, even if you are try to write some sort of code.
2) Auto starting a numbered or bulleted list that is indented that you can make go away just because you started a numbered list?
3) A random line across the page that you can’t select or delete?

Well turn that shit off.

Go to Tools/AutoCorrect Options and Unselect everything. All of the crap in there is going to try and guess as you type what it is that you want on the page, even if you don’t want it. I have had whole documents reformat themselves just because I typed
1)
2)
Or a tab key while in an indented part of text.

There seemed to be no undo to a mass tab/indent reformatting when it happens. I don’t want MS to friggen guess what it is I am doing and I want to format my text my way. In fact, everytime that I have wanted Word to follow a certain format, ie double spaced. The damn thing fucks it up somewhere and can’t even get that right.

I’ll do my own formatting thank you.

I did decide it would be big fun to set the Autocorrect feature. I set “Sincerely” to “Go bleep yourself” and want to set my bosses from “Senior Director” to “Grand Poh-Ba Extraordinare” Or “big fat Tard” which ever floats my boat at the time.

No one read this crap but me anyway.
