This project recursively lists all files that are read-only under the folder(s) you select. You can then click a button to remove the read-only attribute from the files listed. Great utility if you use rewritable CD's for data storage. Drag the files back onto your hard drive, run this tool on them and you can edit them again. Code is in two modules which 1)uses the Windows API's to open a browse folder dialog box, and 2)contains the code recurse the folder selected to list the read-only files and change the file attribute. Code is well documented.
