Where is the clipboard viewer?

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.

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

That must be the sound that's made by Ballmer everytime he gets a hardon
from another Vista license being sold. (sorry couldn't resist)

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
