       Yes, a double-click opens the file.   
       Also, I opened it direct by use of Run.   
       Have now also saved it to Desktop, direct, and the system doesn't seem   
   to mind.   
       Books on WinXP for the mugs (like me) don't seem to mourn the passing of   
   Clipboard Viewer as an automatic Accessory, leaving it to the experts to dig   
   out from the depths.
