Clipboard

The clipboard is a software facility that can be used for short-term data storage and/or data transfer between documents or applications, via copy and paste operations. It is most commonly a part of a GUI environment and is usually implemented as an anonymous, temporary block of memory that can be accessed from most or all programs within the environment via defined programming interfaces. A typical application accesses clipboard functionality by mapping user input (keybindings, menu selections, etc.) to these interfaces.
The contents of the clipboard can be viewed at any time by using the Clipboard Viewer.
To display the clipboard content, user can do it by running clipbrd.exe and it will show you the clipboard content once it is launched. Clipbrd.exe comes together with Windows XP and it is located under \WINDOWS\system32
1) Right click on the free area on desktop, then New->Shortcut.
2) on the ‘Create Shortcut window’ ,, type: "clipbrd.exe " and click Next>Finish
To view the content of your clipboard, just double click this shortcut and it will display the clipboard content immediately.
