Vista Tutorial - Select multiple files in dialog box

Hello,
as the drag&drop method has a limit in the number of characters that can be passed as
arguments to a script, I am trying to open a dialog box and ask the user the name of the
files to be renamed.

I tried the open dialog box ("MSComDlg.CommonDialog.1"), but it doesn't work because on a
pc I don't have installed visual studio or any other program that supports the com object.

I'm trying to use IE to display the file-open box <INPUT TYPE="FILE">, but it only allows
one file to be selected.

Is there a way to ask the user for multiple existing files?

Thank you.
Giovanni.

Thanks a lot.
I ignored the existence of UserAccounts. The syntax is similar to msComDlg (but it is
InitialDir instead of InitDir). I will try other flags to see if I can show the window in
win95 style.

Set objDialog = CreateObject("UserAccounts.CommonDialog")
objDialog.Filter = "VBScript Scripts|*.vbs|All Files|*.*"
objDialog.Flags = &H0200
objDialog.FilterIndex = 1
objDialog.InitialDir = "C:\Scripts"
intResult = objDialog.ShowOpen

If intResult = 0 Then
Wscript.Quit
Else
Wscript.Echo objDialog.FileName
End If
