...as far as windows explorer is concerned, that particular timestamp will "vanish", as File -> Properties <F12> will display:
This will happen with Created, Accessed, or Modified stamps individually on any file or folder so changed. Even more obscure is that the timestamp will also disappear from the listview column within Explorer itself - it'll just be blank.
This only happens in explorer - obviously there's nothing wrong with the timestamp itself, and any other file-manager/utility will be able to read/display the date just fine.
Other than 01-Jan-80 being the birth of DOS and the earliest date a timestamp can have under FAT filesystems (this happens on NTFS), I can find no explanation for this Bermuda Triangle "feature".
Remember: you must be bored, incapacitated, inebriated, incarcerated or just lost in the world looking for a girl to save your soul for this to work. If you are none of those things, then you're just a muggle trudging through the Matrix addicted to the illusions of life.
