Wrong dates on CD copies

When I backup my data files to CD, the dates are all changed to the current
date. What settings do I need to change so that it will retain the same
dates as the original files on my hard drive?
It also makes them all read-only. If there's a way to change that, too, I'd
appreciate it.
 
What 'Backup' process is being used?

Give full details.

A simple way, no matter what, is to just insert a blank CD in the burner.
XP will open a CD writing window. Drag files into this window and then click
'write files to CD'.
 
Depending on what program you are using; you must set it to preserve the
last modified date. Since I do not know what program you are using, I
cannot tell you have to do that...use the help utility that came with the
program.

I will try that, thx. I just wanted to use the CD the same way I used to use
diskettes.
