Two cases of 98SE, one XP HE, each on their own partition. When one is
active, the other two are hidden. Using system commander for boot manager.
All have access to remaining partitions on all HDs.
The only thing that the one 98SE OS, this one, and XP HE share for their
system OS is the swapfile 4GB partition on a SCSI 4GB HD. XP HE's
partition is in XP's NTFS format. I do not have any NTFS translation
software installed on either of the 98SE partitions.

Interesting setup, surly different from mine in that sense.

Not that it should effect this folder date subject, but you are saying you
have a small 2nd HD running and that's where you keep XP's swapfile.. but
then you say they: "..share for their system OS is the swapfile 4GB
partition on a SCSI 4GB HD" ..in what sense does your SE have any sharing
to do with that?

I still don't get how your Image Explorer is restoring folders in your
current C:\ 98SE partition and for whatever reason as you say it restores the
folder with a folder date not current, but of the day that you created the
partition image itself ..that's just a mind teaser to me that it does that.
It's just hard to believe honestly, it's not logical in any way. It's almost
like first it has to copy the folder twice in that it copies it to a place
which there it gives it a current time stamp - and then that's what the
ImageExplorer see's ..so that in itself is an oddity, but then, you tell me
when you restore it that it keeps that second created date ..which makes
it a double anomaly.

How about when you use your zip archiver and unzip a zip, rar or whatever
containing files and folders, and when you unzip them does the folder date
get created anew and assume the current date like normal? ..now if you tell
me that 'after' the unzip that the folder retained the exact same time that
you zipped them (which afaik is impossible) ...I will... errr, i dunno, but
one thing for sure is that your partition or whatever is in a non-standard
format then, or whatever the heck you gots.. I give up to know the answer
on this tidbit!
