Copy Windows Error Messages

Did you know this?  I sure didn’t.

For all you techie troubleshooters out there,

Apparently since Windows 2000, you’ve been able to copy the entire error message to your clipboard by hitting the universal copy shortcut, Ctrl-C (who knew?!).

No more SnagIt just to get a copy of the text.

    Hello Abigail,

    You can’t be serious. If screen capture was all Snagit could do I would agree with you, but I would have to argue that it’s so much more ;-)

    What about 40 different ways to capture your screen…

    I love SnagIt and use it for a lot of other things, but it I just want the text of an error message I am very happy to have ctrl+c at my disposal.
