How do I change the "Date Taken" on a picture in WinXP?

I need to change the "Date Taken" on a bunch of pictures taken while the
camera's date was set wrong. (My Kodak software lets me conveniently access
pictures by date taken, as well as other ways of course. But this batch of
pictures is in the wrong place.)

======================================
The following freebie can add / change dates
on the advanced summary tab of .jpg image
properties. You can do it in a batch also.

Exifer For Windows

Open Exifer and choose the folder...(left click the
"Change Directory" button)

With the selected folder open go to...Edit / Select All.
(Or..type...Ctrl / A)

Now...right click the selected group and choose...
EXIF-IPTC / Edit / EXIF data tab / Date tab...

Check the Date box and enter the correct date.
OK / Yes / No...

That should do it.

FWIW...Just for experiments to learn the program...
I suggest that you make copies of your images and
edit the copies. Actually I never edit my original files...
it's good insurance.
