Modify / Creation Dates on files being copied to a CDR

[Jim Carlock]

I'm experiencing a problem whereby files that are copied to a CDR
or CDRW are being tagged with creation AND modification registering
the current date. I'm using XP Professional.

I've also noticed that at times I've had to reboot the computer to actually
get a copy from the hard disk drive to the CD R/W done.

Something is slightly warped and I'm wondering if anyone knows what files
actually do the copying. This is really bothering me now, because I've
reinstalled Windows XP Professional like six times and it seems like one
of the latest updates has messed up the time/date stamps on files that are
being copied.

The files used to keep the current date/time stamps earlier in June/July
2003.
Now all files that I copy to a CDR or CDRW are being tagged with the
current date, for both the creation and modification dates.

This is really annoying. I've done a normal copy process to
the %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning
folder, and when I manually copy files there, the dates on the
file remain okay.

However, if I go to the CDR through Explorer, something is
messed up. If I copy files through that manner, the files are
copied to the folder listed above, and then marked with
the current date and time.

Someone else confirmed this, and earlier last year when I
made a copy, although it might have been from CD to CD,
the files copied as if a normal copy process occured.

Either way, copying files is copying files and dates should
not be touched or modified in any copy process. The file
was neither created or modified and it's supposed to be
a copy including the date and time stamps.

I've reinstalled XP like 6 times trying to get rid of this
problem. Anyone else experiencing this?
