How can I return the path, file name, and date modified if a file exist in a specific location? Is it possible with a macro?

Format cells as time
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+2 to format cells as time. (Shift 2 is the @ sign).
Code:
Sub Filedir()
        Range("A7:A100").ClearContents
        Cells(7, 1).Value = "File Name"
        Cells(7, 2).Value = "DateCreated"
        Cells(7, 3).Value = "DateLastModified"
        Cells(7, 4).Value = "DateLastAccessed"
        Cells(7, 5).Value = "File size"
        fpath = "E:\test\"   '<<<<<<<<<< to be changed
        Call ShowFolderList(fpath, 8, 1)
End Sub
Sub ShowFolderList(fpath, arow, col)

        Dim fs, f, f1, s, sf
        Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
        Set f = fs.GetFolder(fpath)
        Set sf = f.SubFolders
        Set NFile = f.Files

        For Each pf1 In NFile
            If pf1.Name = "" Then Exit Sub
'            attr = pf1.Attributes
            Cells(arow, col) = pf1.Name
            Cells(arow, col + 1) = pf1.DateCreated
            Cells(arow, col + 2) = pf1.DateLastModified
            Cells(arow, col + 3) = pf1.DateLastAccessed
            Cells(arow, col + 4) = pf1.Size
            
            arow = arow + 1
        Next
    End Sub
