Where is clipboard.exe?

[Judesman]

I am trying to put a shortcut to clipboard.exe on my dektop but can not find this file. I have W7 Pro 64 bit.

On my old XP machine I had this shortcut on the dekstop because it made the Print Screen facility so much easier. (As far as I can rememeber)

Can anyone help please?

 

[logicearth]

you mean clip.exe?

There is no 'clipboard.exe' in Windows 7.
There is a tool by the name of 'clip.exe' that redirects command line output to clipboard.

Theres a freeware called clipmagic. try it.

 

[Judesman]

Thank you for your replies.

Bill2; I don't think Clipmagic is what I need but thanks.

I have searched for clip.exe but the search facility is not finding anything. If it is there I would like to know where it is please.

However I may have resolved this problem as I have just discovered the wonders of the Snipping Tool. This seems to allow me to capture the screen and save and print without using Paint.

Anyway thanks to all unless someone knows where clip.exe is.

Go to the start menu,
search for run,
press enter,
type clip.exe,
press enter,
hey presto you've got it

Hello Judesman.



Here's a tutorial about the snipping tool, it's the same in Windows 7 and Vista; at the link below.

Thanks for the link Jacee.

Thanks all for your input.

Osholt: If I enter clip.exe in RUN and click enter the RUN window just disappears so I don't understand that.

Bare Foot Kid: I have saved the link to that tutorial so thank you. I have another question about some files in W7 that don't respond so I may try entering a screen shot of the files in due course.

Jacee: I am not much of a techie so your link was a little beyond me but I will have another look. Thanks anyway.

I'm sorry that didn't work for you; I recommend then that you use the snipping tool as previously mentioned.

Bare Foot Kid: If I enter clip.exe in RUN and click enter the window just disappears. Can you replicate that? I am puzzled and wonder why this does not locate the file.

Sorry to interrupt, but that is normal as you've executed a run command. Do a search of your C:\ drive (or whatever you have your OS on) from within windows explorer by typing in clip.exe (or just clip) in the search window.

Should find it in c:\windows\system32 and c:\windows\winsxs. If you have 64-bit it will also be in c:\windows\sysWOW64

clip

This exe redirects output from another command so just entering by itself will cause the behaviour you describe. It is found at the places mentioned in a previous post. If you type "clip /?" at a prompt you will see the attached results.

Cato and Hammerhead: Thanks, I am glad that there isn't anything wrong with run. I have located the file through a search in explorer so all is well. I think I will stick with the Snipping Tool that seems to do all that I need.

Thanks everyone. I an going to mark this as resolved now.

Hello Judesman, glad you found a solution that works for you. thanks for the update.




Hello Cato and Hammerhead, thanks to the both of you for helping out.

Snipping Tool is nice, but the clip enables you to edit text instead of having it saved as a graphic file. I will admit in most cases one isn't interested in editing, but it's a good feature to be aware of.

 

[Judesman]

Thanks Cato, that is noted. I am trying to sort out all sorts of things with W7 and Office 2007 at present. The trouble is I am not much of a techie but I am learning fast.

ClipBoard

Still trying to Click on "Clipboard:. Windows 7 Internet Explorer 9 on new Dell. I understand it has soimething to do with Windows XL but I don't have that program. Now running PP 2010, am trying to insert a Jpeg from Galley. But when I tried to use Clip board it would not open Clipboard to insert into PP.What am I doing wrong? I should be able to move slides from Galley without a Clipboard. Drag and Paste doesn't work either. God knows I miss that Clipboard! Thanks for any help. Cataloochee
