How to FIND Text You Copied
Instructions How to FIND Text You Copied (Ctrl + C) in Windows Using the Windows Clipbook Viewer to See the Text
Did you ever wonder what folder or file stores the text you copy ? Copying text is usually done by pressing the Ctrl + C keyboard keys but nothing happens visually when you do this. The copied text is actually stored in memory and in what Windows calls the Clipbook Viewer. Some people refer to this as Windows Clipboard or by the file name clipbrd. It's also the place where the PrtScrn key will send a copy of a screenshot.
Steps to find your Windows Clipbook clipbrd to see your copied text
1. Click on Start then double-click My Computer and open C: Local Disk Drive by double-clicking it.
2. Inside your C: Local Disk Drive folder find the folder called Windows and double-click it.
3. Inside your Windows folder locate another folder called System32 . Double-click this folder to view the contents. You may need to click the option to "Show Hidden Files." You will note there are many files located in this directory so scroll-down past the folders and find a file called clipbrd as the example below illustrates.
