My limited testing seems to indicate that, for a newly created file, as long as it is not closed by the application that writes to it, all 3 of the file's times are identical, set to the time the file was created, and do not change. Only when the file is closed, the last-write and last-access times are updated. This is on Windows XP with NTFS volumes.
