This is about as brain damaged a policy as the whole "we delete email after a year" policy but at least I understand the lawyers' rationale on that one.
Pretty sure you can use something like robocopy to duplicate the files but with new created/modified/accessed dates.
Also keep a recent zip archive of the old files around and periodically expand, copy, and rezip into a new archive.
Agree with others here, though, these are workarounds to a policy that at least should have exception and would be best reconsidered as creation date is a poor indicator of file utility.
Didn't think about zipping all of the key items. This should create a new date for the zip file. I could expand and pull out what I need when I need it. PITA but it should circumvent the issue until I can figure out a long term solution.
