In Windows, whenever you copy anything, it goes into a small utility called the Clipboard. There is a way to view and edit the contents of the Clipboard by placing a shortcut to it on the desktop.
For Windows XP (and I think this works for Vista as well):
1. RIGHT click an empty space on your desktop.
2. Choose "NEW" then "SHORTCUT" from the menu.
3. This starts a wizard. Where it says "Type the location of the item", type in "C:\WINDOWS\system32\clipbrd.exe" (Without quotation marks, and assuming that your OS is on drive letter C)
4. Click Next
5. Name the shortcut "Clipboard Viewer"
6. Click finish
Anytime you want to see the contents of the clipboad, click on this shortcut. You can edit, copy, or delete the info from the clipboard.
If you don't want to put a shortcut on the desktop, you can always view the contents of the clipboard by pressing Windows key + r, then type in "clipbrd" (without quotation marks). This will call up the Clipboard. | |
