How do you open the clipboard on Windows XP as on Windows 98. Have a problem and may need to clear it.?

Question

Working with templates and when I do one copy and paste, it does many pages. Cannot find the clipboard to see what is on it. Where do I click on the clipboard on Windows XP. No problem to find it with my old Windows 98. I ran a search and Windows could not find it.

Answer 1

Windows XP's Clipboard Viewer is called the "Clipbook Viewer," and although flawed, it lets you see what's on your Clipboard. Here's how to put Windows XP's Clipbook Viewer onto your Start menu.

Click the Start menu button and open My Computer.
Open your C drive. (It's listed in the Hard Disk Drives section.)
Double-click on the Windows folder. (You might have to tell it to let you see what's inside.)
Double-click on the System32 folder. (Again, you might have to tell it to let you see what's inside.)
Scroll down the page until you locate a file named Clipbrd.
Drag and drop the Clipbrd file onto your Start button.

Answer 2

Here's just about the same thing with a few more details:

Begin by first clicking on the Start Button.
Then click on Run Icon, which will open up the Run Menu for you.
Locate the white area of the screen next to the word Open: in the Run Menu.
Now type in the abbreviated word Clipbrd and click on the OK button to launch the Program.
Notice how the Clipboard contains a record of your recent copy and paste inputs.
To empty your Clipboard, click on the word Edit located within your top tool bar area.
Then click on the word Delete from the pull down menu that appears.
Windows will ask you if you want to Clear the contents of the Clipboard.
Click on the Yes button to allow Windows to clear the Clipboard.
Notice how your former imputed information is now cleared from the Clipboard.
Then close the Clipbook Viewer Window to return to your Windows session.

Answer 3

From the Start menu in the lower left corner, click "Run..."

Then in the box type "clipbrd" (without the quotes) and press enter.

p.s.: The clipboard always clears when you reboot anyway.

Answer 4

Program is called Clipbrd.exe. Should be located in Windows\system32 folder.
