Where is the clipboard viewer?

Discussion in 'Windows Vista' started by Tom Hall, Jun 7, 2009.

    64-bit Vista Home Premium

    I just tried to view the contents of the Vista clipboard and discovered
    that I couldn't do it.

    I did some research and read that a few people got around this by copying
    clipbrd.exe from their XP system and dropping it into Vista's system32
    folder, but there were apparently issues in so doing.

    Is there any way I can view the clipboard contents?

    Hi,

    Not without pasting it into a program like paint or wordpad. Vista uses the
    snipping tool for capturing screen shots.

    You could try ClipMagic... free for non-commercial use.

    As you say you can copy clipbrd.exe over from XP. "Issues" are not always
    unsurmountable.

    Not in my opinion. But let's agree to disagree here.

    if you go into a program such as word (2007) and go to the home tab then
    click on the little arrow thing on the bottom right it will displeay
    what you have on your clipboard. this is the way that I do it and it has
    always worked for me.

    hope this helps
