I have a bit of a weird problem.
I changed from a particularly bad document management system over to a more simple smb file share recently. The way I did so was to just copy and paste all of the files from the old system over onto the newly mapped drive. In doing so, Windows reset the timestamp on all of the files to the date/time of this copy.
That means that if my users have been stupid and not named their files in a sensible way, when they try to find documents based on their last modified date, they don't get any useful info.
However, if I take a look at any of the files, by right clicking, going to 'properties', and then 'summary', and opening the advanced dialogue, I can see that the 'date last saved' is still the correct date (of 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, or whatever). So I guess my question is, does anyone know of an application that will let me run a batch job to set the last modified date to the 'last saved date'?
Thank you for any help!
