Assorted NT/2000/XP/.. CMD.EXE Script Tricks
From the html version of the tscmd.zip 1cmdfaq.txt file
To the Description and the Index
 

This page is edited from the 1cmdfaq.txt faq-file contained in my tscmd.zip command line interface (CLI) collection. That zipped file has much additional material, including a number of detached .cmd script files. It is recommended that you also get the zipped version as a companion.

Please see "The Description and the Index page" for the conditions of usage and other such information.



171} How do I get a list of all the PC's folders with the attributes indicated?

  @echo off & setlocal enableextensions
  for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%f in ('dir /a:d /b /s "C:\"') do attrib "%%~f"
  endlocal & goto :EOF

A prohibitive amount of output may be produced. You might wish to take on a suitable subset.
  @echo off & setlocal enableextensions
  set temp_=%temp%
  if defined mytemp if exist "%mytemp%\" set temp_=%mytemp%
  set output_=%temp_%\foldlist.tmp
  for %%f in ("%output_%") do if exist %%f del %%f
  for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%f in ('
    dir /a:d /b /s "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\My Documents"') do (
      attrib "%%~f">>"%output_%")
  more "%output_%"
  for %%f in ("%output_%") do if exist %%f del %%f
  endlocal & goto :EOF

A similar task. List with all the attributes the read-only folders on the PC.
  @echo off & setlocal enableextensions
  for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%f in ('
    dir /a:r /b /s "C:\"') do (
      if exist "%%~f\" attrib "%%~f")
  endlocal & goto :EOF

The output might be something like
     R     C:\Program Files
    HR     C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data
     R     C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents
     R     C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu
     R     C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music
     R     C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Pictures
     R     C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Videos
     R     C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music\Sample Music
     :
     R     C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper
     R     C:\_M\Testing & more
