Default File dates on recorded cd -- please Help!!

Using the built in CD Recording feature of XP, I copy my files over to the
cd. It copies them okay. I even copy over whole folders.

My question: Why does it change the creation date? If I copy a whole
folder, all the files in that folder now have the date and time of when I
recorded it, not the files original creation date. I would like to keep
the original creation date.

Is this possible?? I have looked all over in XP, but I can't find an
answer.

Please help!

The date is when the file was created on the CD. You can't change it after
the fact!

Thanks for replying. I guess you're saying that there's no way to set an
option to keep the original date stamp of the file. Is that correct?
Thanks.

IIRC, it depends on the CD burning software you're using. The XP bundled
software is limited in terms of options like this. Full-featured software
usually allows you to keep the original file date/time stamps, use the
current date/time, or set a specific date/time. The last option is useful
for identifying file set versions.
