Folder keeps changing

I have around 1300 files in "My Music" folder. I've noticed over time
that the displayed details keep disappearing and I have to re-enter them
again
(e.g.. bit rate, duration, date modified etc.) I've also noticed that over
the
last year or so my "Date Created" shows almost all my files are the same
date
(05/13/2002) and the same time within minutes of each other. Months ago only
about half had this date and now 99% of them do. Now I'm noticing that half
of
the "Date Modified" are changed to (02/09/2003) and that stops
alphabetically
at the N's of my song list. Weird??? Any answers on how to stop this
degrading or
even bring back my original dates? Thank You
 
Hi,

See if this helps:

Windows remembers 400 folder settings. When that number is reached some
settings aren't retained any longer. You can change this to 8000 by adding
this edit to the registry.

Run this edit, then reset your preferred folder options:

Increase Folder View Options Limit: (Line 2)

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.
