If you copy a file from "Folder 1" to "Folder 2"
the "created date" reflects the current date.
The "modified date" remains the same. I am curious as to
why it would matter unless you are trying to determine if
someone is messing around on your computer or if you want
to know if someone can tell if you were messing around on
theirs.
