win XP, date accessed property...

Why is there no file property showing "date opened," rather than "date accessed"? If you have a directory with a large number of files and want to know which one you last opened, "date accessed" is worthless. Its completely worthless in XP since opening the directory means "accessed." Has this been fixed in Vista?

For example, directory Foo has 5 files. Open the dir on 1/1/2007 all have the same "accessed" date. Now open one of the files, the "access" date changes. Good. Come back on 1/2/2007 and open Foo and now all the files have an access date of 1/2/2007. "Date opened" makes way more sense.
 
There's no way for the OS to tell why you're touching the file so it has to update the atime, the best you could do is disable all of the preview crap in explorer and see if that makes it a bit more accurate.
