Details:

find "C:/bin" ( -amin -15 )   -print 

tested with version 4.2.20

Test done in windows XP where last access time update was enabled (attention
NTFS last access time will only be updated if the last access time is > around
1hr ago).  So advance the clock by 1 hr for every test.

The above command actually modifies the last access time by itself to the
current time so all the files under c:/bin are always returned regardless of
the files last access time.
