Although I have not tracked down the exact metadata tag that needs to be set
for the Windows XP "date picture taken" property, I have found that the date
must be something newer than "1980:01:01 00:00:01". All the tools I have tried
have actually been working OK but Windows cannot report anything older than
1980.
My metadata editing tool preference has to be ExifTool,
http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/, by Phil Harvey and ExifTool GUI,
http://freeweb.siol.net/hrastni3/foto/exif/exiftoolgui.htm. ExifTool allows
me to create a DOS batch file to process a large number of files at once,
setting the dates, GPS info, author and comment fields. ExifTool GUI is a
nice user interface to read and set one photo at a time.
