How can we modify the date of folder in file explorer

Question

Is there a way with which we can modify the date of folder in file explorer or is this a part of Ntfs architecture which can't be changed. Assuming there is no NTFS restriction; how can I change the creation time of a folder using c#

Which date do you want to modify? how do you intend to do it? Programming? What language? This question needs more information — Matt, Aug 23 '14 at 03:33

Excerpt from the MSDN in the comments

string n = @"C:\test\dirToChange";
//Create two variables to use to set the time.
DateTime dtime1 = new DateTime(2002, 1, 3);

//Set the creation time to a variable DateTime value.
Directory.SetCreationTime(n, dtime1);
