Description

Changes the creation time of a file.

Use SetCreationTime to change the creation time of a file. The following table lists the parameters expected by this method:

Name	Meaning
Path	Path of the file for which the creation time is changed.
CreationTime	The new creation time that will be applied to the file.

On POSIX and Mac, SetCreationTime will only update the last accessed time, because a Creation Time for a file system entry is not defined.

Note: SetCreationTime raises an exception if the given path is invalid or the file does not exist.
