Windows – How to browse a Folder with 150000 Files on Windows Vista/7

windows 7windows-explorerwindows-vista

I recently used the Bulk Rename Utility to rename and move files from a bunch of subdirectories to a single spot. In the end, about 150000 files were moved. Now I want to browse them, but recall there being problems in the past.

I'm curious if there is a 3rd party utility that would allow me to peruse these files somehow?

Is the issue here a performance issue, a filesystem issue, or a hardware issue? I have a quad core machine with 8GB of RAM, but it seems hardware has little effect on improving the issue.

You can use cmd.exe. It doesn't invoke any unnecessary file operations (which can slow down working with a huge amount of files).
