# WinCopyPasteDates
Windows context menu items that allow you to stash any file's dates (folders not supported yet) and then apply it to any other file.
Windows context menu items (Dates COPY, Dates PASTE) that allow you to stash any file's dates (folders not supported yet) and then apply them to any other file.
Written as simple .bat scripts and a .reg file for uninstallation

# Installation
Run WinCPD_Install.bat and allow running with administrative priviliges when asked. Same with WinCPD_Unistall.reg. Alternatively you can open WinCPD_Install.bat with "Run as administrator" context menu option straight away.
Code-> Download ZIP, unzip into any folder that suits your needs, then Run WinCPD_Install.bat and allow running with administrative priviliges when asked. Same with WinCPD_Unistall.reg. Alternatively you can open WinCPD_Install.bat with "Run as administrator" context menu option straight away. You can move the extension folder anywhere you want as long as you rerun the WinCPD_Install.bat afterwards.

# How It Works
WinCopyPasteDates works with built in tools only so the resulting script is just a few lines of commands in batch files. Robocopy is used to store the dummy zero-length DATES file with copied dates in the %TMP%\WinCPD directory so that you can apply them to any file with robocopy again, so it doesn't mess with the clipboard at all and is even reboot-percistent to a degree.
