Don't know if this is old news to you guys or not, but in Windows XP, if you do Ctrl+C when a MessageBox is focused, it will copy the contents of that message box. For example, this is what you get if you do Ctrl+C on Wordpad's "Save Changes" dialog:

WordPadSave changes to Document?
Yes No Cancel

OK. I've only just upgraded from Win98, so I'm only just starting to learn the new Win2000/XP features that aren't discussed in the Platform SDK. ;)

yup it's old news. But I read these boards daily and have done for about 3.785 years and I don't recall seeing this posted everyday. The first post reminded me of something I'd forgotten and was very glad to relearn.
