\n

Many error messages\/pop-ups since Windows XP came out, are *clipboard friendly<\/b>*. Thus, if you get an error message like this\u2026<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nifty huh? So useful, but I forget it constantly and remembered tonight\u2026 If there was an ugly 0x0023830 type of error in there, you\u2019d be happy not to have to transcribe it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
