Recursively unlock folders

[frankieboy]

Over the years I have locked several folders, which are scattered about my hard drive and forgotten. Is there a way I can unlock all these folders in one step? And is there a way I can generate a list of all the locked folders on my startup disk, containing the path to each one?

I have found a few applescripts on the net that unlock folders, but they do not seem to do that for nested folders- you have to point them to one folder at a a time.

Thank you.

File Buddy can find locked items on a disk and display them as a list. That was good enough.

But gosh, I thought some script-weenie would post a Terminal solution!
