Clipboard Viewer in Windows XP®

Using CUT or COPY in an edit menu copies the information to the clipboard. You can create a shortcut to allow you to view whatever is in the clipboard. Right-click on the desktop and select New > Shortcut. In the location field, type %windir%\system32\clipbrd.exe then click "Next". Name the shortcut whatever you wish, like "Clipboard Viewer". Click "Finish". Now you have a shortcut that will display whatever is contained in the clipboard.
