How to list long file names and paths longer than 260 characters in vbscript?

Hi there,

               I have looked in different posts and forums, but couldn't find an answer to my question.

So, here it is... imagine the small piece of code attached below. I need to be able to iterate and rename recursively (I didn't include the recursive part of the code in order to keep things simple) through files and folders in an user selected path. I thought that by using vbscript FileSystemObject I would be able to do so.

Unfortunately, it seems like the Files method does not detect files whose path is larger than the OS 260 (or 256?) character limit. How could I do it so? Please, don't tell me to use something different than vbscripts :-)

Thanks in advance!

Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFolder = FSO.GetFolder(Path)
Set colFiles = objFolder.Files

For Each objFile In colFiles
 Wscript.Echo "File in root folder:" & objfile.Name
Next
