Change file modified time from within VBScript?

[Jim Easton]

I have a script written in VBS that changes the date modified of files within a folder. This script uses an external touch.exe utility, but I'd really like to make it self-contained. Is there a system call or something similar that could be used instead? It would need to be compatible with Windows XP and later.

The first returned result from

which provided this code:

Set objShell = _
CreateObject("Shell.Application")

Set objFolder = _
objShell.NameSpace("C:\Scripts")
Set colItems = objFolder.Items

For Each objItem In colItems
objItem.ModifyDate = _
"01/01/2008 8:00:00 AM"
Next
