I was coding quite a bit the other day, and go loads done. I ended up copying it, and planned on pasting it, but completely forgot. Now I've got other things copied. I'd like to know if there's a way to view my old clipboard history? Are there any apps that can see everything I've already copied BEFORE downloading it? Or is there a way to do it with Windows? Please help!

As Allan Mej mentioned Clipboard content is overwritten.
However, last year I think, MS released a new feature in Win 10 where multiple items can be saved in Clipboard history but one needs to turn it on first.
Go to Settings -> System -> (Scroll down to) Clipboard -> then turn "Clipboard history" on.
To view "Clipboard history" contents, press the Windows key + V.
Hi Garry,
Upon copying something, the previous clipboard content is always overwritten. This means that there is always no history saved on the clipboard. You can use third-party applications which record your clipboard history, but you cannot recover your clipboard history prior to the installation of that app.
Should you have more concerns, feel free to post.
Regards.
"I HAVE ONLY USED SCREENSHOT ONCE AND WOULD LIKE TO FIND IT. HOW DO I DO THAT?"
I'm having a little trouble understanding what it is you want an answer to.
Do you want to know how to take a screenshot or to find the program / instructions for taking screenshots?
Do you want to find a screenshot that you've already taken?
If you don't know what the snipping tool does, what do you expect from clipping or snipping in your Bookmarks folder?
I tried to help but I'll pass this on to whoever else is better qualified to answer.
Sorry for the confusion. I already taken a screenshot from my bookmarks but I don't know where to put it so that I can send it to someone.
Thank you for your patience and please know that I have no idea about all this stuff as you can plainly gather. I simply took a screenshot of something in my bookmarks and now don 't know where to put it. That's it in a nutshell.
Thank you!
