Why Can't Error Message Boxes Contain "Copyable" Text?
I've always been frustrated that Windows error message boxes don't contain "copyable" text. Very often, when I get an error message I want to Google it to find a solution. I can't count the number of times I've scribbled the message down, or hand-typed the message into a search engine or the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
Well, apparently I should have just tried hitting the old <Ctrl>-C key combo. Someone said (can't remember where I read it) this will copy the message box text to the Windows clipboard. I haven't gotten an error message since I found about this, but I hope it works. Let me know if it works for you.
Update: I just tried it on the message box that w.bloggar gives me after a successful posting. Here's what it puts to the clipboard. Cool!
