Hello,

I have 23 photos in my clipboard but the originals are deleted. When I try to "paste" it says the original cannot be located. But a preview of the picture is there, so I know they are in the clipboard. I have followed all the steps of this video but am stopped because I do not have "clipbrd" in my System 23 folder. What should I do next? Thanks in advance for your response!! I really hope to recover these photos.

@EmilyEBrigham I'm slightly puzzled by this - you can only have one item in the clipboard at one time - as soon as you copy something else to the clipboard, it overwrites the current content. I don't see how you have 23 items in your clipboard at the same time?

[storebror21]

If you click on START, then RUN and type in clipbrd, the clipboard will open up and show the contents of whatever is in the clipboard

Thanks for the prompt reply, you are great.

Unfortunately, you can't do that from within the clipboard - although you CAN save anything in the clipboard using the File, Save As command - then you could open the image in an image editor and manipulate it any way you want.

Hello, that was nice. I was told on a clipboard you can enlarge parts of a photo & then you can save it. Is that possible, please replay. If yes, please explain. But your video has assisted me. Cheers.
