New problem.
Internet shortcuts have a modified date, as well as a date created and a
date accessed. I need to be able to retrieve the modified date. I am assuming
that that is what is stored in the .URL file with key "Modified=".

E.g., in the example in Doug Steele's article:
[DEFAULT]
BASEURL=http://www.smartaccessnewsletter.com/ME2/Audiences/Default.asp
[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://www.smartaccessnewsletter.com/ME2/Audiences/Default.asp
Modified=B04FC6954E6BC501D9
the modified date is B04FC6954E6BC501D9 (to repeat, I am assuming).

It's hex -- I can see that. It's 18 characters, or nine pairs -- I can see
that. But how, please, do I convert it into a date?

In case you're interested in the reason, the internet shortcuts are the 947
(as it turns out, thanks to Doug Steele's program) references I have
available to cite in some research I have been doing for the best part of
four years. URLs change over the years and it is good practice to quote the
date you accessed the web page. Normally, the date created would do. But I
seem to have had to re-construct my Favorites folder on 2 Feb 2005, because
that is the earliest date created I've got. The date modifieds go back much
earlier. As an example, I think 908B79DFA411C401ED should translate into 24
March 2004 13:35. But how?
