I didn't say anything about a plugin. I just meant with that, that if you need a 'touch.exe' for Windows, that there is one available. (Ask Google about the cygwin gnu binaries).

Can you explain exactly what you are trying to do? I haven't understood it yet.
Update the time on files:
1. Not owned by you?
2. In a directory you can't write to?
3. Something else?
