Try this:

It's a HTA application that I knocked up while bored at work

Note that I haven't given it much testing, so make absolutely sure you have a backup before you use it.

To use:

Download it, double-click on it.
Enter the directory that has your files in the Source box
Enter the directory for them to be copied into in the Destination box
Click Flatten

Any colons or backslashes in the source file path will be converted into underscores, so for example:

C:\temp\foo\bar\foobar.txt
will become
C__temp_foo_bar_foobar.txt
