Script or utility to change permissions on sub folder of the same name in Windows - directory-permissions

Question

I have a parent folder call Projects, under that I have over 400 folders with a separate folder name (eg. Project1, Project2, etc). Under each Project folder there is a standard folder called Management, that should have restricted access but they don't. I would like to change the permissions for this Management subfolder, within all the projects (same permissions). If anyone has an idea on how to do this it would really be appreciated, thanks.

Here's a simple Java application that does about what you're asking. If I misinterpreted anything, you can probably fix it but I'm assuming your main task was to figure out how to modify permissions of only specific files.
My solution was to loop through the current directory's fplders (that being the directory that houses all the project files) and then through each project folder to find each management folder. Then, I used the icacls command to remove permission from a specific user.
public static void main(String[] args) {
File file = new File("directory path");
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
for(File pfolder : file.listFiles()) { // Loop through project folders
if(pfolder.isDirectory()) {
for(File mfolder : file.listFiles()) { // Find management folder
if(mfolder.getName().equals("Management")) {
try {
runtime.exec("icacls "+mfolder.getAbsolutePath()+" /deny USERNAME");
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
}
}
Be sure to modify the initial directory value (make it an absolute path) and the username who's permissions you are removing. Hope this helps!
