Manually change the date on the computer and then copy the files. The new files should have your preferred date.

well, I just did it. changed the date on the pc, opened the file, saved with a different name, closed the file, restored the date and it says "created" and "changed" the date I temporarily set on the pc, and "last open" the current date

Right click the file or folder to change, then choose Change Attributes from the menu. It's a shell extension, not a stand-alone program.

You can use <a href="http://date.utbay.com/file-date-touch.php">file date touch</a>
