Need to copy a file to another directory, but need new create date. How do I change the create date of the copied file?

As an example, I want to copy a file that was created last week (12/01/06) but want 12/07/06 displayed as the creation of date of the copied file.

Many thanks

Look at CHTIME from this site, it's a Windows command line application. http://david.tribble.com/programs.html

If you need a true MS-DOS applications, try this page: http://home.att.net/~short.stop/free....htm#attribute

Thanks. By way of the links that JohnWill provided, I was reminded of the UNIX touch command. Googling "DOS touch", I found the following: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/69581 which answers my question completely

Well, I learned something! I didn't realize that the COPY command could do that.
