You were not able to recreate the issue because it really appears when we Move or Copy across different DRIVES/ PARTITIONS. Then the Created and Modified Dates change.+1I cannot replicate the problem in question. Doing right-click drag and copy the modified date remains the same, moving it remains the same, left-click drag and copy to another drive stays the same... Maybe you have something, like an anti-virus or explorer extension that is doing something with the file during these copy operations.
I have never seen or noticed original file properties to change in any version of Windows when it's copied. I've now "played" about 15 minutes with this, trying to replicate this. No luck.
Right mouse button drag and drop, selecting Copy here or Create shortcut here > original file or folder properties including time stamp are not changed.
CTRL + C copy, CTRL + V paste > original file or folder properties including time stamp are not changed.
Context menu Copy - Paste > original file or folder properties including time stamp are not changed.
Am I missing something here?
Also this issue seems to be impossible to replicate, at least for me.I am using skydrive. I have noticed that upon uploading my files the "date modified" for each file is changed to the time that the file was uploaded.
This seems to violate the presumption that you are archiving an actual exact copy of the original file. I must retain an exact copy of the original.
Does anyone know how to get skydrive to not modify the original file?
I am using W7 64 bit.
Right mouse button drag from desktop or folder and drop to SkyDrive > original file or folder properties including time stamp are not changed.
Left mouse button drag from desktop or folder and drop to SkyDrive > original file or folder properties including time stamp are not changed.
Uploading normally > original file or folder properties including time stamp are not changed.
