I've discovered a lot of the old 95/98 files don't actually
need the registry and thus installs, so that might be worth
trying. I still use Cardfile from my old win98 machine. Only
thing it won't do is dial a phone numbe & I don't care about
that. Con: the tld .crd is also used for an XP program
(Cardspace, I think it is) so expect association issues here &
there.

HTH,

....but you *can* copy the XP version of clipbrd.exe to the Vista or
Seven system32 folder, and it works....at least on 32-bit Windows.
