Hello Panteror,
I’ve got a solution which implies a virtual search/replacement on all the opened files of a N++ session !
Open the replace dialog ( CTRL + H )
Check the Regular expression option ( IMPORTANT )
Find what : .\Z
Replace with : $0
Click on the Replace All in All Opened Documents button
=> At once, all the opened tabs will turn “red”
Hit the ALT + F4 shortcut or the menu option File - Exit
Press the Enter key, repeatedly, to valid the different save dialogs ( Save file C:\...... ? )
Notes :
In the search regex .\Z :
The part . is a standard character, different from an End of Line character ( \r ) and ( \n ) and the Form Feed character ( \f )
The zero-width assertion \Z represents the very end of the file, possibly preceded by any range of End of Line character(s) ( \r and/or \n )
In replacement, this last standard character is just rewritten, as the regex $0 represents the entire matched regex, that is to say the last character itself !
This method should not use much time to process : only one character per file X the amount of opened files, in N++ :-)
Best regards,

P.S. :
By the way, in a DOS console windows, you can change the modification and access date of a file or a set of them, without changing their contents, with the simple DOS command, below :
copy name.txt + or copy *.txt + or, even, copy *.* + ( Tested on a Windows XP machine )
The space, before the plus sign is not mandatory !
