I want to modify the date-time file attributes "Created", "Modified" and "Accessed". The file is located in NTFS filesystem on Windows 7. I have found several freeware utilities that promise to do that but I do not want to install a new software just because one simple change. Is there a possibility to change these attributes without installing a 3rd party tool?

Well, I could change the system time, then modify the file and return the system time back but I believe there must be a more elegant way to do that.

Windows does not offer this. but any decent file manager can do that. Don't you use anything like Total Commander or any file manager whatsoever ? Explorer is limited in unimaginable ways. You could change it with shell as described here. But its much more convenient to run a file manager, just select the files and change what you want.
