| Sometimes improperly
referred to as the pasteboard, the clipboard is the
location
in a computer Operating System such as Microsoft
Windows that stores information that has been cut or copied from a
document or other location. The clipboard will hold this
information until it has been overwritten by new information. For example, a
user may copy information from a word
processor and paste that information into an e-mail message.
Many Operating Systems include software utilities known as
clipboard viewers that enable a user to see what information is
currently being stored in the clipboard, setup the clipboard with
permissions, and/or view the history of the clipboard.
Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP
users may find it difficult to locate the clipboard because it has
been renamed to the Clipbook viewer. It can be located by opening
Windows Explorer, opening the "Winnt" or "Windows"
folder, then the "System32" folder, and finally double
clicking the clipbrd.exe. Users can also click Start, Run, type
clipbrd and press enter to execute this program.
Microsoft Windows 95, 98, NT 4.0, and ME
come installed with a clipboard viewer that can be run by clicking
Start / Programs / System Tools and clicking Clipboard Viewer. The
clipboard viewer is also executable through the clipbrd.exe file
in the Windows directory.

removing the Microsoft Office clipboard toolbar can be found on document
