BTW, what is wrong with: attrib -r Drive:\Folder\*.*

Good way to #$%#$% up Special Folders.

Cookies, Control Panel, Desktop, Downloaded Program Files, Favorites, Fonts,
History, My Documents, My Music, My Pictures, My Videos, Recycle Bin, Shared
Documents, Shared Music, Shared Pictures, Shared Videos, SendTo, Start Menu,
Startup, Temporary Internet Files, etc.

Replied to [Dave Mc]s message :
Is there a way (other than using the attrib /s -r command) to remove the
read only attribute on all files in a folder and sub-folders using
Explorer ?

Select all files by [Ctrl-A] or [Edit > Select All]
Right click any file > Properties
Uncheck "Read-Only"
Click OK
