    Just right click the first one, select "extract here" and then the folder it places there will have the full file in.

    Providing you have winrar installed of course

    If the original video was a single file and was RAR'd into three archives then when you extract the first RAR file, it will automatically pick up the other two parts if they're in the same directory and combine to make the original file again.

    you may need to also download winrar if you dont have it already. It will auto join the output from the rar files as it extracts.

    So, do you want to combine the .rar files or the video files?

    Are they named with extensions like .rar. .r01 .r02

    ??

    If not then I guess you mean they're seperate video (?) files.
    In which case I guess you could use windows movie maker. It's free and usually comes standardly installed.
    It's pretty straight forward once you open it.
