A Program I Want

I want a program that I can say “Watch what I do to this file” (change properties, unblock, etc.) and then be able to say “now do this for all the other files in the directory.”   Can’t be too hard to write, can it?  :-)

    EDIT: the above will watch changes to files in a set directory. U will then just need to customise the eventhandler to replicate one change to the others (without obviously entering a repeating loop…)

    On phone ATM so can’t check but pretty sure this is already included in .net

    FileSystemEventsWatcher or something similar

    Why don’t you just do multiple select and then right click, change properties and hit Ok ?

  4. Try autohotkey or autoit

    PowerShell is your friend.
