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.

Hi Ron

I haven't tried this myself but it looks as if it may do what you want
as it has separate controls for date and time (I'm presuming you want
all the files to have the same timestamp?)

There are dozens of "touch" command line utilities around that will
do this, e.g. touch.exe from here: http://pobox.com/~stevemil

The generally recommended utility is:

http://www.jddesign.f2s.com/touchpro.htm

Although it isn't freeware, £7 is hardly unreasonable.

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).
