Frustrated Windows Switcher Needs Help!

I have a bunch of files in a folder that normally in Windows I would select all then view properties and set the permissions on them and it would aply to all selected files.

I have tried this in Leopard and all I get is "You have read & write access" not the option to change it. If I do it each file one by one I can do it but I don't want to do that.

How can this be achieved?

Click to expand...

There's a little lock symbol at the very bottom. Click to unlock it, enter your admin username and password, and then it should be available.
 
I haven't got that padlock, see attached screenshot.

because you're opening multiple items. Do a 'Get Info' on the folder, change the permissions and apply to enclosed items.
