It relates to security in that the DATE you created or modified any
particular file provides potentially useful information to an attacker.
It's like telling the burgler exactly when you'll be home and what room
you will be in and what you will be doing at that time.

Regarding the google search, of course I did the google search!
Run the search you suggested please.
Tell me what you find?

In the thousands of hits, what I came up with in my extensive googling
wer3e only the following fully freeware programs, all of which I
installed and none of which perform the stated task.

SetFileDate (freeware stand-alone program):
  http://www.no-nonsense-software.com/freeware/

Property Plus (freeware right-click menu addition):
 http://www.ne.jp/asahi/cool/kish/pplusmain.htm

Attribute Changer (freeware right-click menu addition):
 http://webplaza.pt.lu/~rpetges/downloads.html

Given this more complete information, what do YOU recommend for a
Windows XP freeware date changer which runs periodically to reset the
date to a previously defined date?

The real question that only an expert can answer is:
 Does it exist?
