Display ALL files in a directory tree

I have used Norton File Manager since Windows 3.1.

Unfortunately, it is getting rather long in the tooth and crashes periodically in Win7. The reason I still use it is that it has one feature that I have not been able to find in any other file manager and which I use constantly.

The feature is the ability to display in the file window ALL files in a directory, including those in any sub-directory thereof and sub-sub-directory thereof, etc. In other words, it displays in one window all files in a directory tree and shows what the directory path to each file is.

If FreeCommander can do this, I have not found out how.

And not to dis FreeComannder as I find it very nice except for the one thing above, but if anyone knows of a different file manager that does what I want I would be very grateful to know what it is.

Browse to your desired folder and select View (from Menu Toolbar) -> Plain view (files, folders or files and folders, whatever you need; you can use their shortcuts, too):
