Hidden parameters + automatic hiding deployment script

Hi,
I have a number of reports which hidden parameters. The problem is
that when
I change the reports, or as the number of reports grows, I'm then
having to
manually go through the report in report manager and remove the prompt
string, making sure that 'Prompt user' is checked to put the
'hidden-ness'
back.
Is there any way I could do this automatically? All the report
parameters I
wish to hide will have consistent names so it would make my life a lot
easier
if I could do this.
Can I do it through the web service - or maybe through scripting?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Phil Aldis
PS I posted this before using the MS newsgropu thing but it appears
not to have made it to google's servers so I though more people might
