Guest Ron Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 I have been looking for a way (free utility would be nice) to change a bunch of file (Modified) dates (month / day) while preserving the time stamp, So far every utility I have tried changes the time too which I must preserve as it has meaning. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It has much functionality without registering and I believe it will do what you want. Registering releases all the bells and whistles (although this is based on a previous version).
