I interpreted the requirements differently than Corona688. Corona688 assumed that you only have one level of subdirectory and that their is a different My.exe in each directory.

I assumed that there could be multiple levels of directory and that there is only one My.exe command and that it is on your search path ($PATH). If my assumptions are correct, you could try:
Code:
find "$(pwd)/Parent_Dir" -name In1.file | while IFS="" read -r path
do      cd "${path%/*}"
        My.exe In1.file In2.File In3.File
done

I find it strange that two of your three files in each directory has an F in In[23].File and one of your three files has an f in In1.file, but this script uses the names you supplied.

fs_getfid

FS_GETFID(1)						       AFS Command Reference						      FS_GETFID(1)

NAME

       fs_getfid - Display the fid for a given path in AFS

SYNOPSIS

       fs getfid [-path] path [-help]

DESCRIPTION

       The fs getfid command displays the FID for a given path in AFS.	The FID is the internal identifier used by AFS encoding the volume name
       and the file within a volume.

CAUTIONS

       This command is not available on Windows prior to version 1.5.60.

OPTIONS

       -path path
	   The path of the file (or directory).

       -literal
	   Windows only: for a symlink or mount point, evaluates the specified object rather than the object it refers to.

       -help
	   Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

OUTPUT

       The output contains the name of the file or directory, the FID, and the volume containing the FID.  The Windows version also outputs the
       object type instead of using "File" to describe all objects.

EXAMPLES

       On Unix:

	  % fs getfid .
	  File . (536870918.1.1) contained in volume 536870918

	  % fs getfid /afs/example.com/foo
	  File /afs/example.com/foo (536870918.20404.20997) contained in volume 536870918

       On Windows:

	  % fs.exe getfid \afsexample.eduuseroob 
	      \afsexample.orgusroblinktestsroken
	  Directory \afsexample.eduuseroob (537235559.1.1) contained in cell example.edu
	  fs: File '\afsexample.orgusroblinktestsroken' doesn't exist

	  % fs.exe getfid \afsexample.eduuseroob 
	      \afsexample.orgusroblinktestsroken -literal
	  Mountpoint \afsexample.eduuseroob (536873032.1162.16997) contained in cell example.edu
	  Symlink \afsexample.orgusroblinktestsroken (536874416.27618.488969) contained in cell example.org
