[Ham-Computers] XP Clipboard Viewer

[John and Linda Miller]

When I do this:

1. Start/Control Panel/Add-Remove Program
2. Then look in left pane
3. Select Add-Remove Windows Components
4. See Accessories and Utilities checked
5. Choose Details/See Accessories checked
6. Choose Details/See Clipboard Viewer checked

then the Windows Clipboard Viewer apparently is supposed to be available for use.

However, when I select Start/All Programs/Accessories the Clipboard Viewer is nowhere to be found in any part of Accessories.

When I repeat this process on another XP, I get to exactly the same place.

Given a free choice I'd like to be able to call the Clipboard Viewer and use it.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

In the Windows 95B days, you basically did the same thing by "reinstalling" a component to Accessories by: Start/Settings/Control Panel/Dclick Add/Remove Programs/Select Windows Setup Tab at top/Be sure Accessories is checked/Select Details, then if Clipboard Viewer is checked, uncheck it, do OK out to Windows Desktop, then do Start/Shutdown/Restart.

Then you reentered as above, placed a check in Clipboard Viewer, then did OK back out and another Start/Shutdown/Restart.

Lot of monkeying around, but it worked.
