    Happens all the time. Try this experiment. Right click a small
    document file in your My Documents folder. Select Properties.
    Note the Created and Modified dates. Next, copy and paste that
    same file into another location, say a subfolder in My
    Documents. Check the dates. The Created date will be today
    while the Modified date will be the same as the original file.

    If you had made changes to the file and then saved it to the
    new location then the Modified date would have changed. If you
    moved the file, as opposed to copy, it would have retained the
    original dates.
