Here is a link for a file and folder lister that uses recursive. http://lessons.runrev.com/m/4071/l/17080-files-and-folders-part-2
It appears recursive is limited to 400,000. As for the File Walker link I tried it in one of my folders that has a lot of files and subfolders and it did not work for me but it did in other folders. If you get one that works please post it.
