Can't Robocopy keep folder dates?

[karamatic]

Hi, I'm trying Robocopy.exe to move data from a workstation to another
one. Everything's OK but I'd like to keep not only the files' dates
(last modified), but also the folders' ones, which I see, on the
destination PC, is modified to current date.
Is there a way to do this?
thanks

Use a real file manager program to do the transfers. Most good ones have
options that allow you to keep all original dates when copied or moved. Try
"Total Commander". Use Google to find it.

Yes, there is or there was. I was doing some file transfers last month
and had the same issue, I wanted to keep the original folder creation
dates. I came across an article on google about Vista having an updated
robocopy that included a command like "/date" that would keep all the
folder creation dates in tact. I did it and it worked.....but now for
some reason it no longer works for me. The only difference is I am now
using Vista RTM instead of Vista Beta. So I am not sure if they removed
it or not. Also, I can't for the life of me find that google link that
told me about it in the first place. I would think I dreamed it up or
something if I was not looking at all my files and folders I copied
last month with the proper creation dates.

If anybody knows what I am talking about, please reply.

Thanks.
