transfer/copy files from multiple folders into a single folder?

Is there any easy way to transfer JUST the files from multiple folders (776) into a single folder. The only way I know to do this is by opening each folder at a time and dragging the files, but that's taking me forever. Windows 7.

    I can make a program to take the folder addresses from a file but atm I'm feeling a bit lazy :D.

    Open one window with the destination and another one for the source

    Just go to the folder Select files Ctrl-X Alt-Tab Ctrl-V Alt-Tab ->change folder address and repeat

    Why can't you move all the folders, rather than taking out the contents and putting them into a gigantic monolith of a folder. The folders will at least cut out some clutter.

    Other than writing a little program to do it (you could even use a batch file), only by hand.
