copy a Ciilpboard file for wireless security

How about opening a blank document or text file, and pasting into that?

I'll assume Windoze XP Home. If you can "see" something in the clipboard, you must determine if it's ACSII text or a graphics screen capture. Try:

1. Open a blank new document in Notepad. Hit Edit->Paste. Did it paste?
2. If not, open a new drawing in Paint. Hit Edit->Paste. Did it paste?

If Notepad works, then you have a text document and you can do the save as thing. If only Paint worked, then you have a graphics capture and can also do the save as thing.

If you just want to capture the screen, do it this way instead of whatever you were trying to do:

1. Click the mouse anywhere inside the WEP/WPA window to set the "focus" on the proper window.
2. Hit . Nothing will happen.
3. Open a new drawing in Paint.
4. Edit->Paste. You should see a copy of the window you have captured.
5. Save the drawing.

THAT is the problem. In clipboard the Copy and Paste is grayed out. Only Delete is active.

Hi and thanks for the detailed feedback. I do understand it, but cannot find anywhere NOTEPAD.

I looked in search for it too and it does not find it.

I have MS Office 2000 and windows XP Pro on the desktop and Windows XP home on the laptop.

Where do I find Notepad?

Sigh... Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Notepad

Or: Start -> Run -> Notepad

Thanks a lot. That works fine now.

Notepad is part of Windows basic installation. The only way it can be missing is if someone deleted it.

you searched for notepad.exe?

c:\\windows\\system32\\notepad.exe
