Have you every copied something to the clipboard than try and find it?
Great... Win Xp says it in on the clip board but where in the hell is the clip board?

Try the following the following!


Windows XP’s Clipboard Viewer is called the “Clipbook Viewer,” it lets you see what’s on your Clipboard. Here’s how to put Windows XP’s Clipbook Viewer onto your Start menu:

1. Click the Start menu button and open My Computer.
2. Open your C drive. (It’s listed in the Hard Disk Drives section.)
3. Double-click on the Windows folder. (You might have to tell it to let you see what’s inside.)
4. Double-click on the System32 folder. (Again, you might have to tell it to let you see what’s inside.)
5. Scroll down the page until you locate a file named clipbrd or clipbrd.exe.
6. Right-click that file and choose “Pin to Start menu.” (Or, drag and drop the clipbrd file onto your Start button. Just let go of your mouse button when the dragged program’s icon points at the Start button.)

When you open your Start menu, the Clipbrd program’s icon will appear near the top.

To put a shortcut to that file on your Desktop, right-click the Clipbrd file, choose SendTo, and choose Desktop (Create Shortcut).

Whenever you want to see exactly what’s being stored on your Clipboard, double-click on that icon. The Clipbook Viewer will appear, letting you peer inside its contents.

Note: Microsoft seems to have stripped the Clipbook Viewer of the advanced features found in older versions. You can’t “stockpile” multiple clips, for instance, or swap clips with networked computers. (The program’s Help menu still says you can do things things, oddly enough.) But if you just want to see what’s on your Clipboard, the stripped-down Clipbook Viewer works fine.

COPY & PASTE USING THE XP's CLIPBOARD VIEWER!

You will notice that the copy & paste..under Edit of the Clipboard Viewer is grayed out meaning you can not use these features. Here is how to work around that and be able to copy & paste from the Clipboard Viewer!

When you have had an item copied to the Clipboard and you want to copy & paste to another place do the following......

Click on clipboard viewer and then click on CTRL+C (Copy).

Now open the place that you want it pasted into word pad, OOo Writer, or a document on you computer.

Now click on CTRL+V (Paste).

It should appear!
