Cutting+pasting from different partitions messing up the folder timestamp
Since I switched back to my installation from my old HDD to this new computer, I've noticed a couple things different on here besides the relievingly faster speed and lack of malwa cutting a folder from a different partition/HDD onto this one updates the creation and mod dates to the current date, which I wanna avoid.
This didn't happen on my messed up partition or on a fresh VM install. Is this a customizable setting, if so where is it? |

The ONLY time the folder date/timestamps have NOT changed is if I cut and paste a folder within the SAME partition. And I guess that makes sense, since if you move a folder to a new *partition* or hard drive, you ARE creating a new folder, as far as it is concerned. |

Correction, this anomaly happens on the fresh install as well. Its only on my installation that I'm running from which preserves timestamps correctly. I guess the default setup is to not preserve timestamps from different partitions/drives. Damn. |
