I generally dislike when movies are divided in two or more parts, although it’s just one more click to load 2nd or 3rd file, I prefer joining them together. Up until recently I was using avimerge tool fromtranscode package to do all of my merging, just because it was so simple to do with:
avimerge -i inputfile1.avi inputfile2.avi -o outputfile.avi

One thing that really bothers me is a balloon tip that appears every time I reconnect to my home WiFi. Simplest solution is to disable balloon tips by using RegEdit. Open up this branch:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
Add this DWORD value: “EnableBalloonTips” and set it’s value to “0” (zero).
Balloon tips will be disabled after your next logon.
After you tried to log in with root user three times and got the message “maximum number of log ins exceeded” you have to restart the computer.
On the GRUB menu, press “E” once to enable edit, and press “E” again on the kernel line to edit it. Near the end of this line change value “ro” to “rw” and add “init=/bin/bash” at the end of this line.
Now boot into Linux and you will have root shell access where you can change the password or do whatever you please.
