According to this article (under Timing on Windows), no, because the OS timer tick is only 64 times per second (Windows XP). However, to keep accurate timing for other instructions besides file timestamps, you could use QueryPerformanceCounter, referenced here and here.

Depending on your needs you can use a simple VBS Script:

Dim oFS, oFolder
Set oFS = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oFolder = oFolder.GetFolder("c:/Temp")
WScript.Echo Round(oFolder.Size/1024/1024,3) & " MiByte"

You can bring it down even to a single line:

WScript.Echo Round(WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetFolder("c:/Temp").Size/1024/1024,3) & " MiByte"
