In the dialog box, click the General tab. This tab includes information about what type of the chosen file, where is it located and what is its size. Just below it is indicated the time of creation of the file (number, month, year, hour, minute, second), and includes information about when it was last changed and opened.

Click on the "Apply" button to make the configuration take effect and close the window by pressing OK button or icon [x] in the upper right corner of the window.
