I have a piece of java code that monitors the last modified date on a folder to spot when files are copied into certain directories. Normally when you copy a file into a folder it changes the last modified date/time on that folder.

I developed this on windows 2000 and then installed it on Linux with no problems. However, I was trying to install the software on a colleague's PC and discovered that their w2k does not change the last modified date on the folder when the contents is changed.

Why is this?
