The suggestion from rangarasan will be fine if you are searching for Modify Time. This can get a bit confusing though as the file may have been created some time ago, but modified today.

I don't think that there is a simple way to get creation time. You could look at the directory and that will have a timestamp when any file is created or deleted, but you won't know which. Perhaps you would have to write an audit type job to list the files off periodically and see what changes when.
