You can do it easily in the File/To Clipboard menu. Additionally I can suggest to open the Index tab of the help file, and choose these:

• - To Clipboard menu
  - To Clipboard (Report tab)

1. Right-click your folder(s)/file(s) to pop up the Context Menu.
2. Choose To Clipboard
3. Select your clipboard choices.

Affirmative! You bet!
You won't regret every single minute you spend with XY for the rest of your life.
The fastest way to master XY is to actually try out every command, every option, every switch,...etc.
Then XY becomes a part of your life.
Just my 2 cents.

You must be kidding!
The solution is far easier than your might imagine.
Just follow A, B, and C.
A. Select your folder(s)/file(s)
B. Press F12.
Make sure the "Properties" tab is visible to you.
Left-click any date. (eg 4/30/2011 1:08:25 AM in the screenshot)
C. Click the green tick.
Voila, enjoy your solution.

You're welcome!
Almost forget to mention a time-saving tip!
In case you want to touch your folder(s)/file(s) with the current date/time (ie NOW).
You don't have to look up your Rolex watch!
Just click any date (created/modified/accessed) and delete it and click the green tick (or press ENTER).
Now your selected folder(s)/file(s) are time-stamped with the current date/time!
Hope you like the feature.

I believe if you select View->Views->Branch View it will show all object under the current path. Then just select all (Ctrl-A) and set the date. That should do it!

I like your handy trick.
My approach is somewhat different:
1. Name & Location | Name: *
2. Attributes | Directory: Tick
It provides more control over the folders being included.

Very nice! I was thinking he wanted to change the date of everything, so I figured branch view would do it nicely. Your method is great for isolating directories (or anything else, for that matter).

Just more proof of how awesome XY is!
