Wscript.Echo "Date created: " & objFolder.DateCreated
Wscript.Echo "Date last accessed: " & objFolder.DateLastAccessed
Wscript.Echo "Date last modified: " & objFolder.DateLastModified
Wscript.Echo "Drive: " & objFolder.Drive
Wscript.Echo "Is root folder: " & objFolder.IsRootFolder
Wscript.Echo "Name: " & objFolder.Name

ok found the issues and resolve size properties.

but my files property still doesn't work
it says wrong number of argument or invalid property assignment

Wscript.Echo "Files: " & objFolder.Files

Shouldn't it be Files.Count?

Unless you actually want to echo each file name. Files is a collection, meaning that it is a large list of file OBJECTS.
If you want to list each one, you could do it with a For Each loop:

Wscript.Echo "Files:"
For Each strListFile in objFolder.Files
    Wscript.Echo "-  " & strListFile.Name
Next strListFile

Furthermore, File Objects have many Member Class Functions and Properties. So you could list their other attributes, such as size, date created, date modified, owner, etc.

All mentioned Member Class Functions and Properties are listed in the Visual Basic Reference Library. Check them out! It's fun.
