I need help with this VBScript. Want it to skip a folder in the enumeration process.

This is a great script to enumerate Folder Permissions on MS Server.  It outputs to a txt file.

What I would like to be able to do is tell the script to skip a folder.  I'm not up to speed on scripting so I need some help.

I attached the script in the "Code" area.

I am running the script in a folder called UserData (the script doesn't care what this folder name is).
This folder has many subfolders for different business units to store their files.
I want the script to skip (pass over) a specific subfolder in UserData.

Thanks in advance!  Let me know if this isn't clear.

' First thing, check the argument list for a directory.

' Run this on the File Server system you desire to get the ACL's from.

' To put this output into a file you just execute "cscript listacl.vbs > acl.txt".

Why not use such one-liner in PowerShell?
 
Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Exclude "Folder_name" | Get-Acl | Format-List > test.txt
