I need to prepare multiple files to burn and transmit to third party during
asset sale. I'd like to temporarily keep a copy in my current Explorer file
folders. It is important to the other party that a sense of chronological
order be retained. If I copy files over to the new party's folder, then a new
Date Created shows in Explorer. I guess I can get around that by moving the
original to the new folder, then creating a copy for me. However, then I lose
chronological create-date settings in my copies.

The real problem: some .xls files are mixed and must be split apart to
provide the third party only selected data. Any way I go, once I edit the
file, resave, and make copies, all the historical file properties will be
gone. Other than making notes in the "Custom" or "Summary" tabs under File
Properties, is there any way to retain either the Date Created or Date
Modified properties that display in Windows Explorer?
