One of the options you can set is for maximum number of files per directory. You can set it to a higher number (But it takes more memory then). If it isn't displaying all of the files because of the limit placed on the subdirectory, it should put a message up where it usually says x files in y bytes, saying that not all of the files are shown. Solutions? Sort by date, that way the files you have worked on most recently will show up first. Or mask by *.doc, or delete all of the *.bak files, which in most cases will cut the number of files in half in a folder that contains nothing but first word documents. You could also consider setting up more subdirectories for these files. Categorize all of your documents and split them among multiple directories.
