If you copy and paste a file from one locale to another in Windowsland...

Obviously the "Date created" will be updated to the moment at hand in the new environment, but I was surprised to see that the "Date modified" does not similarly get updated. It will be maintained even though it is not really the file you are looking at that got modified at that date. Whatever. Right-click on a file and pick "Properties" and then go to the "Details" tab of the box which appears to see these settings in Windows 7. It's the same thing in Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2012.
