If you want to see the source code, that is available here: It’s a simple throwaway utility to get the job done and move on. There’s no install, no tracking or metrics, or anything else related to privacy concerns in this app. The app also prompts for input to make things a bit easier to use. If you need just the app, you can find the release build here with instructions. I’ve made it free and open sourced it in case anyone wants to use it. I ended up writing a quick console application in C# to do the trick. I did some searching and didn’t find a utility that would do the job and most of the solutions I found required Powershell which wasn’t available on the system I was on. I needed a way to automatically just clear all flags but respect permissions. Normally you could just use Windows to clear it in bulk, but that could potentially mess up file permissions. It was causing the system to skip files which wasn’t acceptable.



I ran into an issue where I had to move files from one system to another and was running into issues because files had been set as read-only, had the archive flag set, or both.
