Can a file's "time created" property be changed using VB?

I have the code that will change the "time modified" property of a file.  But I'm wondering if the "time created" property can be changed as well using VB.  Any insights?  Thanks in advance.

P.S  I'm so sorry I can only give 35 points for this question.  That's all the points I have.  I promise to give more when I get more points.  I'm still waiting for some of my answers to be graded.

BTW, you won't get points to spend from questions you answer ... just your 5 points a day.
It can be done (maybe via C)
This site has a utility that does it ... maybe you can ask them the sources

SiriusP, please kindly tell me what exactly to put in the code section of the form to have the program actually execute the desired intent.  I'm new on API's.  Thank you so much.
GREETINGS!

This question was awarded, but never cleared due to the JSP-500 errors of that time.  It was "stuck" against userID -1 versus the intended expert whom you awarded.  This corrects the problem and the expert will now receive these points; points verified.
