|  I thought everybody knew this... Apparently I was wrong since Martin just posted this on another FORUM. the text of all Windows error messages Tuesday, December 25, 2007, 3:33:50 PM | Martin What do you do when an Windows error message popups that you do not know ? Write it down so that you can research the error message on the Internet ? Keep the error message open and open a browser window to research it ? What if there was an easier method that allowed you to copy the full error text with just one well known shortcut ? Here it comes. Did you ever try pressing CTRL + C when a Windows error message popped up ? I know that I did not until recently because I never thought that it would be possible to copy the error message this way. I can tell you that you can copy any Windows error message, no matter how long it is, with the well known keyboard shortcut CTRL + C and paste it into any editor using CTRL + V. I’m sorry if I’m the only one who did not know this but hopefully it helps out at least some guys who did not know that this was possible.

| I knew about the Ctrl + C would copy and Ctrl + V would paste, but not about using these keyboard combos with error messages. Didn't even crossed my mind. Thanks.

| What an excellent hint. I wouldn't have thought of it. Thanks Snuffy for sharing that. |

| Handy and nice to know Snuffy. Thanks. I have used CTRL+C in other instances when the website disables copying highlighted text, like when on my online banking. Very handy, many times I have sat and copied a long error message. Or one of those long unintelligible paths to get to the error text. |
