CMD replace

I dont know it using the CMD prompt [too lazy to go look it up] but you could use PowerShell. If you have Vista or above it will be already installed. Just run powershell.exe from a Run box. Then enter the following all on one line:
gci "C:\myfolder" -Recurse | foreach { if(Test-Path $_.FullName -PathType Leaf) {Move-Item $_.FullName $_.FullName.replace(" ","_")}}
Change the path to the directory where your files are located. If you do not want it to process sub-directories, remove the "-Recurse" bit.
EDIT: I recommend using this line of code on some test files first - or run it on a copy of the directory you intend to change. This works as advertised on my computer, but I wont be held responsible if something goes wrong and you don't have a backup!
