Uh Jahmehr, you already have the program - The MS-DOS prompt.

*) Open up a DOS window
*) Type "cd \directoryname" - if the name of the directory has a space
   in it, you have to enclose the directory name in quotes, eg,
   cd \"Program Files"

Note that if you have the option "DOS prompt here" in your right-click
menu, then you can navigate to that dir in the Windows Explorer, and use
that to get a DOS window in that dir instead of doing the above.

*) Type "attrib -r *"

And done. If you have files in other dirs that need this done, just go
back to step two and repeat. When you're done, type "exit" and press
enter to quit the DOS window.
