Question: Clipboard Viewer in XP. What has happened to the clipboard viewer program on Windows XP, is it still there and can I find it in the programs folder? andy ap2202@gosforge.com, 07 Oct 2005 (Ref:1161)
Answer: Where's the Clipboard Viewer in Windows XP? It is called cilpbrd.exe and it is a useful utility if you wish to know or manipulate what is on your clipboard. It is to be found in the Windows folder on the C drive.
Open Windows folder and double-click on the System32 folder. (You may get a warning that the files are critical but go ahead anyway) Double-click in the file clipboard.exe and it should run.
If you wish to make it easily available then you can drag the file on to your Start button, it will then be available for use when you open your Start menu. Regards - David Edmunds 07 Oct 2005

Question: Some computer help please? I have two questions. 1) Can someone access my home pc and see copies of all emails without my knowing? If so, how can I stop this? 2) I have both Outlook and Outlook Express. I can't find the answer to this one in the help file. How do you generate an automatic response to incoming emails? Is it a separate programme? Do I need to be connected to the net to be able to do it? Thanks -- Kirsty organiser@paradise.net.nz
