   Remember: you can paste it into "paint" or M$-PIX-ED or any other picture viewer to look at it.

> Thanks so much!  I tried to Search/Files and Folders, but did not have the correct file-name, so I didn't find it.

> For those reading this now, or in our list archive at a future time, when you use Windows Explorer, and go to C:\Windows\System32, the right pane may be hidden because not knowing what you are doing in there can cause you much misery and lost time.  But once you select "Show the contents..." and scroll down past the folders, you will see the file that Mike mentioned, clipbrd.exe, and once you right click on it, as Mike said, you can move it where you want or "Pin
>   to Start menu."

> My guess is that Microsoft may have decided that it was not essential that this file be readily visible to be functional.  Anything sent to the Clipboard Viewer you can Paste with a Ctrl-V to Notepad, Wordpad, or whatever without seeing it.  In my application I think I need to see what's in there before I Paste somewhere, and then have to delete what I pasted.
