-ctime unix command in windows

Question

I have windows machine on which I need to query all the files created before x time. In unix, we can do it by find -ctime. By specifying the minutes, I can view all the files in a certain time period.

How can I do this in Windows?

specificaly for "creation time", installing cygwin and using find command seems to be only way I could find :-)

find-command: search with created time

You can use the command "forfiles" See: http://www.windows-commandline.com/find-files-based-on-modified-time/

I can find files by days using this command. How can I do with time ? like hours or minutes? – Imran Hemani Dec 21 '15 at 14:50
According to the [documention](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753551.aspx), you cannot use hours or minutes. – Thomas Dickey Dec 21 '15 at 21:51
