Changing files attributes of files in subfolders to match parent folde 2

[maloaupito]

How do I easily change file attributes (particularly uncheck Read-only & Hidden) of files in subfolders to match parent folder attributes (basically all attributes unchecked)? I inherited a website on a CD and upon copying the many files onto my hard-drive, all the files have the Read-only attribute checked - not useful for making changes. I don't want to go to every folder, select-all and change properties simply because there's subfolder after subfolder after subfolder. I want to have all folders, subfolders and files to have no attributes. Isn't there an easier way to do this?

How about in Windows 98 SE?

u can do it by giving attrib command at the dos prompt
by putting a /S & /D switch to the attrib command

eg
c:\>attrib -R c:\folder\*.* /S /D
