Looking for a story titled "Hell No" or something like that. It's about a man getting sent back in time, and getting an alien horse, as he acts as a marshal in the old west.

Sadly he has removed it and the follow up stories.
You can always email the author and ask if they will repost them. No idea if he will respond but his account is not premier so it looks to be active.

One of the mysteries of the universe: the copy in my files is dated 8/7/2019, and I don't remember how it got there.

I have a copy dated 28/5/2009. I think I got it from the banzaiben.com site which no longer exists.

In Windows, and IIRC in Unix/Linux, the date/time stamp on a file is when it was last updated, not when it was created.
Doing something like opening a text file in any text editor or word processing program and clicking save without making any changes is enough to update the date/time stamp.
Also, copying the file will often change the datestamp. So if you copy a file to a backup drive, the new file will have the date of copying.
Not always true on Linux/Unix. Some tools will preserve the modification timestamp when copying. E.g., if you have to restore from backup, it's nice to have the timestamps restored too.
Doesn't Unix have something called 'touch' that updates the timestamp but doesn't update the file? Just a vague memory from times of old.

To be fair, Windows has a dozen different datestamps with subtle differences, but since most people don't change default settings it probably doesn't matter. Date modified is the default displayed, so it's what people see.
Doing something like opening a text file in any text editor or word processing program and clicking save without making any changes is enough to update the date/time stamp.
I don't believe the 'any' is true. I've opened plenty of files in Open Office to eg remind myself how I handled something, and the timestamp didn't change unless I made an update.

Just opening and closing the file won't update the time stamp, but that's not what I said.

So back to:

So how many times did you re-save the file rather than just closing it when you opened a file in Open office to remind yourself how you handled something and made no updates?
You're right, I didn't :-(
My bad!
No big deal, I figured you had just missed the part in my original comment about saving the file, so I tried to make that clear.
