Re: cd file copying

[Harry Ohrn]

XP copies files to a staging area, burns the copied files and then deletes
the copies. Therefore the date change. You need a third party app like Nero
to burn with. You can then set the Burn preferences to "Use the date and
time from the original file".

I burn CDs with XP and have never had any date changes.
