Retaining folders' date when moving

I know it's a luxurious problem, but how do you keep folders' original date when copying or moving folders?

 

In Windows Explorer, right-click anywhere in the bar that shows Name, Size, Type, etc. and make sure that "Date Created" is checked.

The date created doesn't change when you move a folder (on my system, at least). You'll have a new date on the copy of a folder because you've actually created a new folder. The contents will have the new date, also.

 

Good tip, Jim...Thanks

 

The other way to get the choices is to click View then "choose details" in WE. There are more options available the "View" way.

Doing it the way I mentioned, if you select "More" at the bottom of the menu, you'll get the same "Choose Details" selection box you get from the "View" menu. Way too many choices, but it's nice to know you have them. With the column spacing I use I don't have room for more than Name, Size, Type, Dimensions (for images), and Date Created, anyway.
