copy filepart1.ext /B + filepart2.ext /B + filepart3.ext /B [etc...] fileresult.ext /B
or you could repeat it a few times if you run out of command line space:
copy filepart1.ext /B + filepart2.ext /B filetemp1.ext /B
copy filetemp1.ext /B + filepart3.ext /B filetemp2.ext /B
copy filetemp2.ext /B + filepart4.ext /B filetemp1.ext /B
copy filetemp1.ext /B + filepart5.ext /B filetemp2.ext /B
copy filetemp2.ext /B + filepart6.ext /B filetemp1.ext /B
...
copy filetemp1.ext /B + filepart30.ext /B fileresult.ext /B
del filetemp1.ext
del filetemp2.ext

Not very convenient, but for a one time merge it works nicely and you don't need to download and install any program. And when you make it in a batch file, you'll be able to type everything out very quickly (since you can easly copy/paste in notepad) in less than half a minute.
Cookie, I never really did what you suggested, and I finally took the time to do it today and it worked. I realize this is a really old thread, but thank you for the advice. Simple binary file merge did the trick and I have my old pictures back and lots of space back in my gmail account and no longer any annoying "Drafts" that should shouldn't be there.
So once, again, a big thank you
P.S. I am posting this instead of PM-ing you since there might be others with my issue and hopefully the spiders will pick this up.
