<quote> CROA is a handy utility that will clear the read-only bit of all
subfolders and files in a specific folder. This is extremely useful after
copying the contents of a CD to your hard drive. </quote>

One of my favourite programmes. Rarely used but when it is it's invaluable.

How about Start > Run > Cmd.exe

then

ATTRIB -R [drive:][path]*.* /S /D
Click to expand...

And if you like it as a context menu item, use the following .reg file:

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

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\RemoveROattribute]
@="RemoveRO"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\RemoveROattribute\command]
@="ATTRIB -R \"%1\" /S /D"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\RemoveROattribute]
@="RemoveRO"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\RemoveROattribute\command]
@="ATTRIB -R \"%1\" /S /D"

R-Click Folder > Click "Clear Read-Only Attributes" is easier and quicker.
