Restore files from CD backup

[Ed Shaw]

I have just restored files from a cd. I have copied in about 200 directories, 3000+ files. Is there any easy way to remove the readonly attribute on these directory trees, or am I supposed to go to each individual dir, select all , and use properties to turn them off?

please save my fingers, mouse, patience, sanity

go to a command prompt, get to the top most directory of the tree (ie. C:\Restore if all directories are under this) and then type 'attrib -r /s *.*' and press Enter. This will traverse the directory tree remove the readonly attribute from all files. You can use + or - and any attribute in this command.
