This question is asked here but then the question text pollutes the question with issues of "rules of thumb"
So to be clear, this question is: How many files can a windows folder contain?

- 512 Files Per Folder
FAT32
- 65,534 Files Per Folder
- 512 Files for the root directory
NTFS
- 4,294,967,295 Files Per Folder
(from here)
