I have downloaded 25 files with the following in the file name: ".avi.001" - ".avi.025".

I removed the ".001" by renaming the file, resulting in ".avi". The file works. But when I do the same to the other files, they do not work. What should I do?

You're supposed to use a file-splitting/joining program like HJSplit to merge the files back together. Poke around for a copy, then boot it up and go through the nessecary procedures to restore the file.
This has been another blunder by you friendly local idiot.

Yeah, I found HJSplit immediately after I made this thread. Thanks.

Or you could do it oldschool in a command window with

COPY /B something.avi.0?? something.avi

? is a wildcard that represents any other symbol and as such should be able to replace the whole range when done like this. Or you could be sure you got it right by doing

COPY /B something.avi.001+something.avi.002+(blabla, you get the picture) something.avi[/code]
