Hi Bear,
Try pressing the round start button and then typing the word Clipboard in the search box at the bottom of the start menu.

There is no clipboard... what do you need it for?

Whew, thanks for saying that, Crabby. I thought I was being stupid for wanting to ask "what clipboard?". It's always been just an "invisible" thing, afaik.

[crabby]

Clipboard used to be a real thing (system tools) that allowed users to see their copied items... it is virtual now

Actually, the clipboard is a temporary storage for more than just from the 'Copy' command; it also stores information from 'Cut' command, 'Snipping Tool' and 'Print Screen'. However, as mentioned on previous post, the Clipboard is not visible.

Mostly, the clipboard stores lost socks where you can't find them. I had even forgotten that we used to be able to access it. I am sort of like daz: I though, Clipboard?, where did that darn thing go? I hadn't missed it in who knows how long.
