Specifically, this question's answers all say that after the fact it's impossible to get the access time of a file on NTFS.

I was disappointed by the answer but couldn't take "no" for an answer, so dug a little deeper and found a way of doing just that, basically invalidating all other answers...

My answer (only available to 10+K reputation users) being very lonely at the bottom, is never going to be read by anyone, so how do I easily contact all the posters and tell them there is a (valid) answer? (Although I doubt the OP will ever accept it as he's not really active on the site)

To be as complete as possible: on the SE site I spend most time on, I would just drop into the chat room and yell about this and would get enough upvotes to get it to the top after enough people would have validated my answer...

Update: I was wrong, all the others were right: it cannot reliably get done, even when syncing the cache to disk.
