Any way to turn on 'autoarchive' for all folders/subfolders (Outlook)?

Its ridiculous that if you take all of your messages, and create subfolders under your inbox (ie: Inbox/Project1/2003 folder) that you have to right-click on every folder and subfolder to 'activate/turn on' the autoarchive function (ie: set it to use the default autoarchiving scheme that was set up in tools/options/autoarchive).

I have some users that possibly have +100 folders setup under the inbox, and manually doing this seems ridiculous. Am I missing something, or has Microsoft just spaced out on what would be a nice feature to have?

Thanks,

Per the Outlook 2000 help, "Now that you have turned on AutoArchive, you must set AutoArchive properties for each folder to activate AutoArchive." Looks like Microsoft in its infinite wisdom, believes you have more spare time than you do.
