Fun with dirdate and touch

Instead of 'Fun with Dick and Jane' you can have a lot of fun playing with file and folder date-time stamps instead ;-P

For example:-
2009-09-21 12:45:00 PRE Collectorz.com.Movie.Collector.Pro.v6.4.1-TE
Wouldn't it be fun to release this file with an older date-time stamp, making it appear as though you are super-uber-l33t (!) ;P

2 utilities are used 'touch' and 'dirdate'.
Touch.exe is a Microsoft Resource Kit utility for playing with date-time stamps only on files though. Folders it cannot do which sucks.
Dirdate.exe [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] is a great program by DataMystic company with tons of options for playing with date-time stamps, on files and folders.
