Normalize

This one's really useful. Recursively sets file attributes in a specified folder to normal, very handy for fixing folders that were copied to a hard drive from read-only sources like a CD-ROM. Can also recursively delete directory trees. The normalizing feature makes it a more useful tool than deltree. It has also proven to be more effective, as deltree appears to have a bug that causes it to enter an infinite loop in some situations.
