To change the last-modified time of a file?

[Monisankar]

I want to change the modified time of a file by giving year,month..etc as input.To use SetFileTime() we need ptr to FILETIME structure.I am able to change the modified time to the current time by taking the systemtime.But facing problem to change to other input time.Please help...Thanks.

// Set system time to 31-Jan-1959 5:30am
SYSTEMTIME st;
ZeroMemory (&st, sizeof (st));
st.wYear = 1959;
st.wMonth = 1;
st.wDay = 31;
st.wHour = 5;
st.wMinute = 30;

// Convert the system time to a file time
FILETIME ft;
VERIFY (SystemTimeToFileTime (&st, &ft));

// Set the file's modification time
VERIFY (SetFileTime (hFile, NULL, NULL, &ft));
