Remove read only attribute from files in a tree

I have a large folder tree, probably 100,000 or so files, mostly
images. Within this folder tree are maybe 100 files with the read
only attribute set. I want to clear this attribute. Is there an easy
way to do it from either Windows Explorere or the command line? I
can't even see a way to find the files using Explorer's search
capabilities, but was able to use dir /s /a:r to find them on the
command line.

If you right click a directory and select properties/advanced
it says, "when you apply these changes, you will be asked if you want
the changes to affect all subfolders and files as well."
