Folder Question
Is there a utility, or a through Windows, that you can change the properties of Windows folders (i.e. changing the time and date). I have a utility that will work for files, but not for directories.
What are you talking about? What properties do you want to change? Windows can change most things to do with a folder.

(i.e. changing the time and date on one or more folders). This can not be done through Windows. I am looking for a 3rd party utility.
I don't know of a utility however, I can do it using a little program that Finds the directory and changes the properties.
What you need for this are the APIs
1. FindFirstFile(szDirectoryN
2. FindNextFile() - in case you need to recurse into the directory and change sub-directories too.
3. SetFileTime(...) - You can change Creation Time, last access time etc with this.
4. SetFileAttributes(...) - You can change some attributes using this API.
Hope this helps,

Good little program, but does not work on folders in 95/98 - only in NT.
