Go down the File > Script > Browse... route but when prompted for a file:

 1. type *.* for the File name:

2. Hit 'Return'.


You should then get every file listed in the selected folder, not just the ones PS likes.

From here select your file and run it.


This works for me with PS CC 2014 on Win7 x64.

I didn't have a working vbs to hand so I used an empty file which gave a proper error message, meaning it did execute the script.


As a side note, all the PS versions are named 'Photoshop.exe' so getting a file to open the right one is a headache.

I found that changing which version to use in the file properties...ie, open with, only works when PS is completely closed.

If any version of PS is open at the time of running a script it will be that version which is used regardless of any shortcut pointing to another.


The OS simply sees that 'Photoshop.exe' is running and so uses it. It cares not about from where.

Just one of those issues of having every version of PS have the same executable filename.
