If you have Windows XP or Vista you probably have Windows Movie Maker that should do the job

Select all programmes, then accessories, and it's on the list. As you will be using it a bit, when you highlight the programme, right click and send a shortcut to the desktop - then all you have to do is click that.

You don't have to but it might be an idea creating a new folder for just your clips.
