Timestamps of copied files are 1-2 seconds ahead of their sources. Why?

0

It seems to be a known problem that when you copy files to a Win95/98/Me system (especially from WinNT/2000/XP), the new files may be 1-2 seconds ahead since Win95/98/Me has a file time granularity of 2 seconds whereas NT/2000/XP with FAT has a granularity of 1 second, and NT/2000/XP with NTFS has a granularity of 100 nanoseconds. By the way, since all file operations in ExamDiff Pro are done by delegating them to the Windows Explorer Shell, you’ll get the same results by using Windows Explorer to copy files.
