Almost everyone who uses computer already experienced or at least saw an error message, a warning which is displayed whenever an error occurs during the operation of the program. A record of the type of error, its location, and its cause, is normally stored in an error log. Very often, the error log can be found within the program’s folder, and can be viewed if opened with Notepad.

Since the text is presented in a static text box, there is no way to select all or a portion of the text. Another method would be to use the edit text box control, and set the text to read-only. That's what the Windows shell does for the file property sheets, which allows users to select and copy text such as the full pathname of a file.

However, there is a quick and best way to copy it if you want to Google or just want to have a copy of the error message rather than taking screenshot. To copy error message to your clipboard, just press a combination of the traditional shortcut key "Ctrl+C".

After you press the Ctrl+C keys, the error message text will be copy to your clipboard and can be transferred to any word processor like notepad and wordpad by pressing Ctrl+V.

To try this tip, you must have an error message...Ooop s, your system don't have an error message right now? Ok, you make one. Go to Start>Run and in the text field type any word like "Error", windows will now generate an error message informing you that there's no such word. Now you can try this tip.
