Can I configure Visual Studio to use real folders instead of filters in C++ projects?

It's annoying to have to separately maintain a .filters file to make Visual Studio happy, as well as my project's on-disk layout. Is it possible to tell VS to use real folders, like it does for C#?

In the Solution Explorer in Visual Studio, just click the toolbar button called 'Show All Files'.

That does exactly what you want.
