Set folder date to date of newest file in the folder?

A few years ago I remember coming across a piece of software
which would allow a person to change folder dates (in
Windows 2000 & related) en mass using the following
criteria:

To set each folder date (created & modified) to the
(modified) date of the newest file in each folder.

However I've done some searching & am unable to find it.

Do you remember what it was?

Note that I've tried xxcopy as a means of copying folders.
For some of the folders it retains the date and for others
it doesn't. So I've gone back to just using regular windows
GUI copy and am now searching for that utility I remember
but can't remember now.

Sincerely,

Jonathan

You are looking for something like a file manager with the facility
called 'touch', you didn't mention that so it may be a better clue for
your search.

I am a bit busy just now to look for you.

Thanks for replying. It doesn't appear that Attribute Magic
does what I need in an automated way.

I need a program that scans all subfolders in a folder. In
each subfolder it examines the dates of the files, and sets
the creation and modified date of each subfolder to the date
of the newest file in each subfolder.

I may be able to use Attribute Magic to do it manually, but
I saw no option to have it to it automatically.

Maybe cotact the author, ask for a feature addition to use
the C&M / Mod / Accessed date of the current selected file.

ability to change these file properties for entire directory structures
in one operation.

That's about 5 minutes work, mostly reading program features.
