To save room on our company server, any case that we had that was closed and no longer needed to be referenced, was burned onto a cd. Until recently, the cd sat on my desk in case anybody needed anything from it. Well, that day came. The problem is this...

Every file on the CD has a modified date of when I burned the files to the cd and not the actual last modified date. Well, being that I work for attorneys, they want the date the document was actually last modifed and not saved to CD.

Is there a way to burn files to a cd without changing the modified date to the date of burning? I'd like to continue to clean old files off the server this way, but if the modified date keeps changing, I won't be able to.

Microsoft tech support wants $295 to answer this problem. Anybody got a solution for free?

Any help is greatly, greatly appreciated.
