Hi,
I'm trying to add the time a photo was acquired to the properties in Windows Vista but it doesn't seem to want to let me.
Example:
Go to C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures
Right click on Autumn Leaves.jpg and click Properties
Click the details tab
Under Origin by "Date Acquired" there is a field that when you move over it, lists "Specify Date and Time Acquired", now click on it and it will let you add a Date but I don't see a way to add the time.

If anyone knows how the time can be added to that field that would be great.

In Windows Photo Gallery, you can change the time taken by +/- 24 hours.

Indeed you can and I have done that for the "Date Taken" field. I'm looking for a way to change it for the "Date Acquired" field. The "Date Acquired" lets you fill in when you scanned/downloaded from a camera the picture.
If I can't figure this out I may just forget about it. I just thought it would be a nice bit of information to have with the picture.

I just picked a random picture and right clicked 'Date Acquired'. The field was blank but I was able to change it to a year ago (or 50 years ago).

I was able to do the year also but what I can't seem to do is set the time part of it. The text says "Specify Date and Time Acquired" so it seems there should also be a way to set the time. Instead the time part gets set to whatever the current time is.

Ok, I see. You seem to be able to change the date and time 'Taken' but only the date 'Acquired'.
Darn.
