Yes it does, you can ctrl+c or right click and get to it from
that menu. It
works in all Windows edit boxes.
The dialog box itself is not an edit box, and copy simply does
not work. (Just tried it again.) You cannot copy ANY text from
it, even the highlighted text.
This really blows when you've got a message window with an
error message in it, and you cannot copy it to google it. You
cannot copy the "About" dialog box text, either, so you have
to painfully type in the version/build number when filing a
bug report.
Unbelievable.
Dear Walter,
Pressing Ctrl-C in any *standard* dialog will copy the text to
clipboard since Windows 2000, even captions and buttons.
And before telling that don't work, this a remote desktop
connection to a non existent computer error obtained using Ctrl-C:
[Window Title]
Remote Desktop Connection
[Content]
Remote Desktop can't find the computer "abcd". This might mean
that "abcd" does not belong to the specified network. Verify the
computer name and domain that you are trying to connect to.
[OK] [Help]
