Changing The File Date of Photos

[tutor2000 0]

I'm having some trouble here changing the file date of photos in the Pictures library. I figured out how to get to the path

do

$folder=IniRead(@scriptdir&"\chagephotodate.ini","Folder","1","")



$folder=FileSelectFolder ( "Select the location of your photos","" ,2, $folder )

if @error then exitfunc()
    

if not StringInStr($folder,"\") then $folder = @UserProfileDir&"\"&$folder


$shortfolder=FileGetShortName($folder)



Run(@comspec &' /c start '&$shortfolder,@ScriptDir,@SW_HIDE)


$ret=MsgBox(4100,"ComputerHelp808.com","You wrote"&@CRLF&$folder&@CRLF&"Is this correct?")

    IniWrite(@scriptdir&"\chagephotodate.ini","Folder","1",$folder)

Until $ret=6

But after calling the func the photo date remains the same

I did search for a solution on the forum of course first

func changedate()


$folder=IniRead(@scriptdir&"\chagephotodate.ini","Folder","1","")

$day=IniRead(@scriptdir&"\chagephotodate.ini","Day","1",@MDAY)
$month=IniRead(@scriptdir&"\chagephotodate.ini","Month","1",@MON)
$year=IniRead(@scriptdir&"\chagephotodate.ini","Year","1",@YEAR)

    
    $var = FileSetTime($folder&"\*.jpg",$year&$month&$day)

    
if $var=0 then 
    
    msgbox(4096,"ComputerHelp808.com", "An error ocurred and your photo dates were not changed. Please restart the program and try again.")
    
exitfunc()

EndIf

EndFunc

I'm not getting an error. As far as the function goes it thinks it changed the date
