Updating a file's attributes with the current date and time can be easily achieved under Microsoft Windows by issuing the following command in CMD:

copy /b filename.ext +,,

You can either navigate in CMD to the folder that contains the file, or prefix the filename.ext with the full path.

I have found this useful when testing replication, robocopy, copy on condition, etc...
