   Because batch file alone doesn't provide any command to specifically change   
   file/folder date, and none of VBScript usable objects can change the date of   
   a folder (it's possible for file dates, but not for folder dates); the only   
   possible solution without downloading third party software is to use   
   PowerShell script. Pre Windows Vista system will still need to download   
   PowerShell seperately. Or compile either a VB.NET, C#, or JScript.NET   
   application; if .NET Framework (crap) is available.   
      
   Though IMO, I'd rather use third party software for changing folder date   
   (e.g. GNUWin's build of GNU's `touch`), considering the hassle of executing   
   PowerShell scripts, slow loading of PowerShell scripts (because it uses .NET   
   crap), and relatively large memory consumption.
