You can use xcacls.exe from a CMD prompt to effect
pretty much any change to ACEs you need on
a folder tree.
You may also need to get a bit familiar with
"for" command variations such as "for /d"
to loop over just the subfolder names.
(for /? is a good place to start.)
Xcacls is on the Server Resource Kit, but should be
available at
www.reskit.com or ms download
someplace.
