        => it is possible to adapt file creation time of target in here, but NOT file modification time!

        CopyFileEx() processes multiple streams one after another, stream 1 is the file data stream and always available!
        Each stream is initialized with CALLBACK_STREAM_SWITCH and provides *new* hSourceFile, hDestinationFile.
        Calling GetFileInformationByHandle() on hDestinationFile for stream > 1 results in ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED!
