General Software Discussion / Keeping attributes and creation/modification dates when copying files/folders

« Last post by Cynic on September 16, 2007, 03:29 AM »

Hi.

Is there any utility that keeps all attributes and both creation and modification dates of files and folders when copying/moving them? I'm using WinRAR to pack the files/folders and extract them at the desired location, because Explorer will only preserve the attributes in very specific situations.

I've searched the forums and it seems Directory Opus is able to do it, but I'm hoping there's a free alternative somewhere as it seems like a pretty basic feature.

General Software Discussion / Re: deleting files from DVD/CD?

Copy the entire disc to DVD-RW and then just erase the files you don't want. Be sure to destroy the old disc, too.

You can't erase from a CD or DVD unless it's CDRW or DVDRW.

I may be completely wrong, but I don't believe that's the case. Even when you erase files on rewritable media, the files are still accessible with tools like IsoBuster, like Ampa said.

So, in response to Tomos' intial question, I believe the answer is "no".

Would be good if there was an easier way, maybe via a context menu item or wizard hmm.

Perhaps this helps, it's been mentioned in other threads in the forum:

Could someone please provide a link to an .exe file?
I don't know what to do with the source code.

Thanks.
