    Hi xqusme,

    Thanks for getting back. If you are looking for a file that you can extract from the clipboard history to attach to an email that is not possible. However, if you are just looking to copy paste from the clipboard history this is possible. Here's how:

    1. Press Windows key + V, opens up Clip Board History.
    2. Open your email account, compose a message
    3. Go back to the Clip Board history and click the items you want to include to your email, it will paste itself on the message compose screen.

    Winkey + V is the official shortcut for viewing the clipboard. However, you have to enable it first. (Those sneaky 'softies!)

    Go to Start menu > Settings app > System > Clipboard

    Thanks Bulldog but it did not work for me, it just starts the window for taking the clip.  I need access to the items I have clipped already. 

    thanks
