No Xp clipboard

[Will]

Although the Clipboard viewer is checked in my XP Home
edition Windows Accessories components, there is no
shortcut to it on D: drive where XP is. I toggled the
cipboard viewer off, updating windows, then toggled it
back on thinking this would create the shortcut one
should see under accessories. No change. Had to make my
own shortcut. Useful tool. I could prove what i say is
true by pressing Prt Scr then sending the .clp file.

Wonder if there is some rule that says only one clipboard
per computer, not per os if you have more than one in the
box.

As the cut and paste operation in XP is streamlined and
far superior to older OS's the clipbook viewer is seldom
needed. Even in your print screen option which copies the
present window it really isn't needed. At least there is
no need to have an active clipbook viewer.It is simply a
matter of locating it in the windows\system32 and then
right clicking on it and clicking create a shortcut and
you can drag it onto the start button to put it in your
start menu. There are all sorts of tools in the system32
file that don't have shortcuts to them but you can
cofigure one for them if you like. Keeps smiling.
