Change properties of files in directory (and sub-directories)

Is there a freeware which should be able to remove all Read-Only properties
of directories (sub_directories)

It can be done in a dos box using the ATTRIB command:

C:\>attrib/?
Displays or changes file attributes.

ATTRIB [+R | -R] [+A | -A ] [+S | -S] [+H | -H] [[drive:] [path] filename]
[/S [/D]]

+ Sets an attribute.
- Clears an attribute.
R Read-only file attribute.
A Archive file attribute.
S System file attribute.
H Hidden file attribute.
/S Processes matching files in the current folder
and all subfolders.
/D Processes folders as well.

Use this command:
First navigate to the folder with sobfolders
c:\ cd "folder with subfolder"
then
ATTRIB -R /S /D *.*

Do a Google search for "Read Only attributes" (without the quotes of course)
freeware. Lot of hits to choose from.

Go here:

http://www.crystalsoftware.com.au/desktop.html

Scroll to the bottom of the page and find a 1kb zip file containing a
..reg file that adds the functionality you require to the right click
menu.
It don't come no simpler than this.

Add this to your registry. It will put a 'Clear read-only flag' onto your
right click context menu for directories, and will clear read-only
attributes from files in the directory AND subdirectories.

-------------------------------------------------------
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\readonly]
@="Clear Read Only flag"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\readonly\command]
@="attrib -R \"%1\\*.*\" /s"

This won't work on Win98SE.

Yeah, ok. 98 wasn't mentioned in the original post that I saw.

Wasn't having a go at you - just pointing it out in case any Win98SE
users out there were trying it and wondering why it wasn't working.
