The following from that page:

"A Web Archive file allows you to package a Web page and its supporting
files into a single file. A Web Archive file has the .mht extension and
does not make changes to the original Web page."
end of quote

This tool was intended for manipulating web pages rather than Word docs!
I hope that is what you are using it for when you used the term?

"converting collections of Internet Explorer plus
its sub-files into one MHT file"

There are tools for both batch edititing of html pages and tools for
editing files creation dates.
The reason the new dates are created each session is because you are
creating a new MHT/backup. NOT editing an existing file. (The same happens
when you create a file to a CD or DVD.


Your really creating plenty of extra work and problems for yourself by
attempting to reinvent the wheel.

A tool has existed for these type of back-ups for more than 25 years.
Today that software is called WINZIP.
The files contained within the ZIP will maintain their original Explorer
creation date.

Using an unstable Word Utility (and beyond its intended use) to archive
data is NOT a good idea!
Most especially if the data contained in the files is important.
I would advise seeking some assitance and guidance from another for
archival and/or back-up methods.
