First, Windows XP's Clipboard Viewer is now called the Clipbook Viewer. And
although XP places the program on your hard drive, here's how to place the
Clipbook Viewer's icon onto your Start menu:
1. Click the Start menu button and open My Computer.
2. Open your C drive. (It's listed in the Hard Disk Drives section.)
3. Double-click on the Windows folder, then Double-click on the System32
folder.
5. Scroll down the page until you locate a file named Clipbrd.
6. Drag and drop the Clipbrd file onto your Start button.
When you open your Start menu, the Clipbrd program's icon will appear near
the top. (Feel free to right-click the clipbrd's icon, choose Rename, and
type in Clipbook Viewer/Clipboard Viewer.
Whenever you want to see exactly what's being stored on your Clipboard,
double-click that icon. The Clipbook Viewer appears, letting you see exactly
what's been cut or copied to your Clipboard.
NB: To display hidden files and folders
Open Folder Options in Control Panel, Click Start, and then click Control
Panel.
Double-click Folder Options.
On the View tab, under Hidden files and folders, click Show hidden files and
folders.

I cannot find my clipboard
The clipboard is in memeory, and can't ve found directly. What
you *can* find is the clipboard viewer, which you can get to by
typing clipbrd at the Start | Run line.
