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.
