Setting last modified date of a file from within Rev

Hi Xavier,

I'm going to reformulate my question more precisely:
I have a Rev exe on the user's machine with many other files.
I want to be able to write some data to one of these files (actually  
a Rev stack but it does not matter) and save it.
But I don't want the modification date to be changed (on the desktop,  
in the file 'Properties' window, etc.) .
I don't want to use a third party stuff to achieve it either (we are  
on the user's machine running a software he has downloaded from the  
Internet).
So I thought there was some shell command allowing to overwrite the  
creation, modification, access dates of any file (XP and Vista) I  
could run from Rev.
But which one?
May be Ken or Chipp have an idea ;-)
