Stupid Tech Support Tricks – Copying Windows error messages
Well, not “tricks” – just one. But it’s a cool one.
In Windows, you can copy the text of many OS or program error messages using the standard Windows copy keyboard shortcut; Ctrl+C.
The nice thing about this is that it copies all the text from the dialog in plain text, so it’s easy to paste into an email or forum when asking for tech support. Much cleaner than mucking about with screenshots and saves the person helping you from having to type (or more likely mistype) any critical information from the error while trying to reproduce or troubleshoot the problem.
Hmm…did you have any particular post in mind when writing this? :) :)
