lpLastAccessTime
[in] Pointer to a FILETIMEstructure that contains the date and time the file was last accessed. The last access time includes the last time the file was written to, read from, or (in the case of executable files) run. This parameter can be NULL if the application does not need to set this information.
lpLastWriteTime
