I take it back.... sort of.... I remember that "touch" was in the NT 4.0
Resource Kit, but I don't see it in Windows 2000. If you have an NT 4.0
Resource Kit installed somewhere, though, you should be able to find it
and run it on a W2K system.

Yes, it's called 'touch'.

If Windows doesn't recognize the command, try installing the appropriate
Resource Kit for your version of the operating system.

Does anyone know a windows equivalent to the Unix 'Touch' command.  I am
running some tests with TSM and via a script want to have TSM think that
certain files have changed.  In Unix it is a simple matter of 'touching
them'?  Any ideas?
