One of our admins recently used xcopy to copy a bunch of directories and
files from a Windows 2000 to a Windows 2003 server. Apparently most, if not
all of the files had the read-only attribute set on the destination (Win2003)
machine. Is there a quick way to undo this? Is it a known issue? What
caused it? Thanks in advance.
