Needing help locating the exact time & date of a file

Newbie here so I apologize if I am not doing something correctly or have posted this under the wrong category; fortunately though, my question is rather simple. I am only hoping that the answer is just as simplistic.


I am going through a court battle right now and over the past year I have saved numerous files to my hard drive which I am now going back through in trying to put the proper dates that they were made (most of them are audio files; but there are definitely files from every category) and for the most part, I am able to get all of the information that I needed just by right clicking on the file, scrolling down to "Properties" and then selecting the "Details" tab. Nevertheless, for some reason, a good 25-40% of them show a completely inaccurate date. So my question is: does anyone know of a failsafe/foolproof way of finding the correct date in question and on top of that, knowing whether or not that date is actually legitimate; whether that be with the use of some outside program, a command prompt, or some other shortcut? I'm all ears!


Thank you for your time,


Mike

First off you should not be touching anything with those files. If the lawyers and court asked for a copy of them. Burn them as is to a DVD and hand them over as the evidence they requested. Otherwise the judge can issue a Subpoena to have Leo's come to your house and take anything related to saving data to, including the computer.
