Clipboard

[Bruce Hagen]

Am I supposed to have Clipboard in XP Home? Can't find it in
Start>Programs>Accessories. Checked in Add/Remove Windows Components
and it's not there either.

Thanks,
Bruce

For some reason, Microsoft have hidden the Clipbook viewer(Clipboard) in XP

Create a shortcut to %systemroot%\system32\clipbrd.exe

 

[Carey Frisch [MVP]]

Perform the following:

1. Right-click on your Desktop and select: NEW > SHORTCUT
2. In the Create Shortcut window, type in: CLIPBRD.EXE , and click "Next"
3. In the next window, type in: ClipBoard Viewer , and click "Finish"
4. A ClipBoard Viewer shortcut icon will appear on your Desktop.

It is there ---add/remove windows components under accessories.

 

[Bruce Hagen]

There is no Add/Remove Windows Components in
Start>Programs>Accessories on my XP. Only in the Control Panel and
Clipboard isn't listed. I did get the shortcut on my Desktop as
instructed.

Actually it's in Control panel, Add or remove Programs.

 

[Bruce Hagen]

Doh! That's what I just said.

Umm, its "Add or Remove Programs" that is in Control Panel. (Add/Remove
Windows Components is a sub-set) Then Acessories and Utilities, details,
Accessories,details, THEN Clipboard Viewer is third from the top.

 

[Bruce Hagen]

Gotcha! Quite a round-about way though.
