Whenever you Cut (CTRL + X) or Copy (CTRL + C) an element (file, folder, text or image from a documentc), it is temporarily stored in the clipboard. The Windows XP clipboard is in the Album Manager (except for Vista and new version of Windows).

To access it:

Click on Start > Run

Enter the the following command: clipbrd
