Does anyone know of a GUI program that will copy all files in a folder and
all subfolders, into a destination folder?

TIA

There's like a zillion of them out there. Any backup program will do. Check

Thanks for your help Phil, but I suspect that I may not have made it plain
that what I require is that all of the files in the source folder and all of
it's subfolders, be copied into just one destination folder, with no
subfolders.
Do any of the backup programs offer this facility?

Thanks

The program I gave the link for will zip up all the files and subfolders in
a folder and put the zip file into a destination folder.

Thanks again Phil.
I can see how you would assume that this would meet my requirement, however
the purpose of wanting all the copies in a folder, with no subfolders is to
enable me to use IrfanView to make a single image contact sheet of all the
image files, thus creating an index image that enables the viewer, who knows
what image they are looking for, to ascertain the filename.
I think that IrfanView would require all the images to be in the same
folder.
The copied files would be coming from an archive where the images are
categorized in apropriately named subfolders.
Maybe there is another program that I can use to create a "contact-sheet"
type image from a hierarchy.

Ok, I see now what you need. I don't know of any gui program, but I bet you
could just write a batch file that copies the files to a single folder.
Maybe evenn someone in here can help you with a batch file. No gui, but
should work.

Thanks for the help Phil, and I have discovered that Photoshop has a
facility to do exactly what is required without needing the files to all be
in the one working folder.
Kind regards
