Chmod X Windows

I just moved some screenshots from the admin's 'my pictures' to the all users (shared) folder using the command line. However, they are still set to be only readable by the admin. I don't recall which files are which now (though I have a good guess).
What would be the windows equivalent of the Linux command
CHMOD 777 *.*
aka
chmod a+rwx *.*
Yes, I could go through each file one at a time, but I got an error trying to select all files in the directory so I could assign this permission en mass. I want to assign full control to either 'everyone', 'users', or 'authenticated users' (don't really care which, since they're mostly screenshots that I've uploaded to flicker to post on public boards like this).
I could have sworn there was something like this, but it might have been only for Server 2008R2. I can't remember when I heard of it. The files are on a hardened laptop running Windows XP Professional SP3.
If it is only for Server, or Vista/7/2008, would you mind posting anyways so I can use it with my desktop in the future?

For example, Windows users adding shell scripts may wish to add them as executable for compatibility with users on non-Windows. Although this can be done with a plumbing command (`git update-index -add -chmod=+x foo`), teaching the `git-add` command allows users to set a file executable with a command that they're already familiar with. How to change file premissions in Git on Windows. Windows own file permissions does not map to the Git file permissions so it may be a bit hard to change file permissions when you are on Windows. Lets assume the file script.sh needs to have the executable bit set. As you can see the file has 644 permission (ignoring the 100).

I use Git in Windows, and want to push the executable shell script into git repo by one commit.

There are three viewing modes, normal, freeware, or shareware, which allows users to screen out certain types of software.5) Tucows.comTucows (originally an acronym for The Ultimate Collection Of Winsock Software, a name which has long since been dropped). It has a popular website directory of shareware, freeware, and demo software packages available to download.A system of mirror sites is maintained to allow the traffic to the site to be distributed among several worldwide server locations. The site also indexes major technology, science, health, and entertainment news.Software categories are arranged hierarchically and are modeled after Windows filesystem paths, such as “C: Mobile Phone Tools Nokia.”Users can sort by criteria such as the date of the last update, the number of downloads, or the rating. They list both Freeware and Shareware downloads.4) Softpedia.comSoftpedia is a Romanian website that indexes information and provides downloads for software. Freeware programs for windows 10. Covering software for Windows, Mac, and Mobile systems, ZDNet’s Software Directory is the best source for technical software.Over the last few years, they have gone through a number of upgrades and the sites is much better looking and has a better collection of software as compared to when we first listed it here.

Usually I need to do two steps (git commit).

How can I combine these two steps into one step? git configuration? windows command?

Remind: Two answers are good, git add --chmod=+x file is supported in new git version

Reference: see question in Git file permissions on Windows for second commit

Chmod 755

There's no need to do this in two commits, you can add the file and mark it executable in a single commit:

As you note, after adding, the mode is 0644 (ie, not executable). However, we can mark it as executable before committing:

Chmod +x Command

And now the file is mode 0755 (executable).

And now we have a single commit with a single executable file.

Indeed, it would be nice if git-add had a --mode flag

git 2.9.x/2.10 (Q3 2016) actually will allow that (thanks to Edward Thomson):

That makes the all process quicker, and works even if core.filemode is set to false.

add: add --chmod=+x / --chmod=-x options

The executable bit will not be detected (and therefore will not be set) for paths in a repository with core.filemode set to false, though the users may still wish to add files as executable for compatibility with other users who do have core.filemode functionality.
For example, Windows users adding shell scripts may wish to add them as executable for compatibility with users on non-Windows.

Although this can be done with a plumbing command (git update-index --add --chmod=+x foo), teaching the git-add command allows users to set a file executable with a command that they're already familiar with.

If the files already have the +x flag set, git update-index --chmod=+x does nothing and git thinks there's nothing to commit, even though the flag isn't being saved into the repo.

You must first remove the flag, run the git command, then put the flag back:

then git sees a change and will allow you to commit the change.

The note is firstly you must sure about filemode set to false in config git file, or use this command:

and then you can set 0777 permission with this command:
