You're spawning way too many processes here (though you do have to run one
attrib per file). I'd go with something like this:
find / \( -name cygdrive -o -name proc -o -name dev \) -prune -o \
-name \*.lnk -print | \
cygpath -w -f - | perl -pe 's,\n,\0,' | \
xargs -tr0 -n1 attrib +R
find / -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 \
\! -name cygdrive \! -name proc \! -name dev -print0 | \
xargs -r0 grep -lRF '^!<symlink>' | \
cygpath -w -f - | perl -pe 's,\n,\0,' | \
xargs -tr0 -n1 attrib +S
(not tested, but should work barring typos).
HTH,
Igor
