[wellylug] permissions munted

Hi all

I copied several tens of gigabytes of files off a NTFS disk and every 
single file has the most permissive permissions imaginable. Execute and 
write for everyone (see http://rimu.geek.nz/Screenshot.png )

If I do chmod -x * then all the directories can't be opened any more, 
which isn't cool.

How can I set everything to something sane, like

-rw-r--r--  1 rimu rimu       357 2009-07-17 20:56 examples.desktop
drwxr-xr-x  2 rimu rimu      4096 2009-07-18 09:02 Templates

Cheers

R
