i add recursive command script allows loop through current direcotries sub directory/files , set permissions on subfolders/files whatever like. here have far allows permissions changed on first set of subdirectories. obviously, can add samecode in keep diving down through folder structure, not every root folder have same amount of sub folders within it. want add recursive command loop through subdirectories , when there no more, move on next root folder.

first, if target framework 4.0, recommend use directory.enumeratefiles method (you can find 3rd code same thing.)
assuming no-go, can simplify recursive processing using yield keyword, e.g. make traverse method based on yield -- i'm showing filter function since useful in directory traversal ad should give ideas.
static ienumerable<string> traverse(string path, func<string, bool> filter) { foreach (string f in directory.getfiles(path).where(filter)) { yield return f; } foreach (string d in directory.getdirectories(path)) { foreach (string f in traverse(d, filter)) { yield return f; } } } then use traversal() way
var files = traverse(path, where); foreach (string f in files) { dowhatever; } you have more reusable directory traversal @ fingertips. know not yielding directories in snippet above, if wanted process both files , directory, base on directoryinfo.getfilesysteminfos method instead.
i forget when yield feature added, has been available quite while.
