>From the release notes of the latest SUA for Vista/Longhorn:
"Under default settings, st_atime attribute of stat structure will not
return the correct last access time. This is because in Windows Vista,
NTFS file system does not record last access time. To enable st_atime
attribute of stat structure to return correct last access time, set
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate
to zero.
NOTE: Enabling the above registry key will have impact on performance.
Consult your Administrator before enabling Last access time attribute.
When last access time functionality is disabled, utilities that rely on
sst_Atime attribute will not work correctly. For example, the U option
of ls utility will not work as expected unless last access time is
enabled."
