If you have a Win98 CD or a Win 3.1 floppy extract the files.

 
Windows 98 but not 95 includes two programs from Windows 3.1 & 3.11 / Windows for Workgroups (WFW) 3.1 & 3.11 (Windows 3.1, 3.11. and WFW 3.1 are basically the same program - 3.11 included bug fixes amd WFW 3.1 included networking, WFW 3.11 was a substantial upgrade and included toolbars and VCache) despite official Microsoft statements to the contrary (see Q159852).

These are Cardfile and Clipbook. Cardfile is a simple database that can have pictures in it and dial numbers, it is supplied without a help file in Windows 98. Clipbook is similar to Clipboard Viewer but allows multiple items to be saved and allows the sharing of the clipboard over the network. There is no way to get Windows to install these programs, they must be manually installed.

The easiest way to install is to type SFC (you'll have to search the cabs in XP) in the Start - Run... dialog box and choose Extract a file. Enter the following filenames one at a time;

cardfile.execlipbook.execlipsrv.execlipbook.hlpCreate a new folder in your Programs Files folder, it can be called anything (perhaps Progs311) and copy the three .exe files here. Copy the .hlp file to C:\Windows\Help. Select all three .exe files and drag on to the Start Menu.
