Default Clipboard icon

I had an icon for the Clipboard on my desktop before my computer crashed
recently. I don't remember where I found the icon to put it there.
Anyone?


On my computer the clipboard is found at Windows/system32/clipbrd.exe



A clarification he clipbrd.exe is *not* the clipboard. It's the
clipboard *viewer*. The clipboard itself--the place where what has
been clipped is stored--is in RAM.

Whether someone wants to use the clipboard viewer is of course up to
him, but personally I see no use for the clipboard viewer and never
run it. If I cut or copy something to the clipboard, to see it I paste
it where I want it. If it should turn out not to be what I want, I
simply delete it.
