how to change opencart url structure

Question

my current opencart store url structure is http://www.mydomain.com/categoryName/productName , but when someone click on it, it will be redirected to www.mydomain.com/productName, which will cause a lot of on page 301, so i want to change the product page url to www.mydomain.com/productName (remove the category name). but i cannot find any option in the cms backend, so i guess i have to hack the theme template file to do it? does anyone know how to do it?

i'm pretty new to opencart so any help will be appreciated.

thanks
