One of the nice tricks with the Domino Administrator Client Files tab is the ability to update ACL's and properties for all databases in a folder and sub-folders. To do this, just right-click the folder and choose from the list of available options. Such as Access Control >
Manage:
At which point you will receive this window where you can see that all 87 databases are selected and you can Add, Modify, or Remove entries from the ACL of all databases (applications). Note, if you're Adding entries you may have to go back in a second time and also Modify that entry in case the entry previously was listed with a different level of access.

This can also work for Advanced Properties for databases. The trick to this window is that if you choose something in the "Select" column and leave the "Enable or disable" option blank, then it will set that property to OFF for all of the databases. If you check the option to enable, then it will turn it ON. Remember this and don't assume that if you just select it that it will enable it. If you don't select an option, it will not be touched. Note the properties I'm selecting below and that many of them can also be done via the Compact task. But this is a nice UI way to do this.
Also note that any of the options in the right-click list that are not greyed-out are available for this - such as compact, quotas, etc...
And completely unrelated, but if you're a Star Wars geek, try to telnet to towel.blinkenlights.nl...
