hi,

found out that i need FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS for CreateFileW (Unicode) when it is a Directory instead of File
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/window ... reatefilea

You must set this flag to obtain a handle to a directory.
A directory handle can be passed to some functions instead of a file handle.
For more information, see the Remarks section.

will make a Sample

---

i do record TV to *.MPG and transfer them via USB-Stick
when copy Files to NAS it does create Folder with Date / Time when Folder was create ...

i can "touch" Files, which was create, with "old" Date/Time but not Folder with harbour
i want to "set" Date/Time of Folder to same Date/Time when Files was create

hi,

TouchDir.EXE

TOUCHDIR.ZIP

(4.35 KiB) Downloaded 127 times

i do record *.MPG from TV , in seperate Folder, and do transfer via USB-Stick to NAS
when copy a Folder from USB-Stick to NAS it will create Folder with actual Date / Time

TouchDir.EXE will look for "latest" File in Sub-Diretory and "Set" Date / Time to "this"
it will NOT touch your Files, only Folder Date / Time

! Note : Source Code use "W" API Function so use UNICODE LIB
