I don't know if you mean me but, you cannot do that, using explorer, with a folder containing 350000 files. It would take hours (literally) just to select the files. It took an hour just to get the properties page to display. Windows just does not expect a folder to contain that number of files.
Oddly enough, DOS doesn't mind. I copied a few hundred files and directory listings from the jumbo folder for future reference using DOS. Yay, DOS.
