file create date

[MrY]

Hi,

I want to change the file create date (properties) of my photos in windows and set them to the picture create date.
Is this command line correct to do this? I just asking to be sure that nothing bad happens to my pictures 

D:\>exiftool "-FileCreateDate<CreateDate" "-FileModifyDate<CreateDate" -D:\temp\picture

Your command looks fine.  The command should only set the filesystem date/times, and not modify the file itself.  Nothing will happen if the file doesn't contain CreateDate information.
