What do you do when an Windows error message popups that you do not know ? Write it down so that you can research the error message on the Internet ? Keep the error message open and open a browser window to research it ? What if there was an easier method that allowed you to copy the full error text with just one well known shortcut ?

Try pressing CTRL + C when a Windows error message pops up. You can copy any Windows error message, no matter how long it is, with the keyboard shortcut CTRL + C and paste it into any editor using CTRL + V. I’m sorry if I’m the only one who did not know this but hopefully it helps out at least some guys who did not know that this was possible.
