If "not everything" is really "everything not", then

$ ls -l Programs/PuTTY/
total 4
-rwxr----- 1 anrdaemon anrdaemon 899 2011-03-14 19:49 PuTTY-Settings.reg

$ chmod -x,+X -R Programs

$ ls -l Programs/PuTTY/
total 4
-rw-r----- 1 anrdaemon anrdaemon 899 2011-03-14 19:49 PuTTY-Settings.reg

And ugo is dealt with through right umask. Which, in my case, is 0027
However, if your regular umask is different, you do need to use a script.
