Copy Text from Dialog Box

How many times have you had an error message on your screen, and either hand written it down, or opened notepad to type in exactly what the error said?  Those days are gone!!!  Little did you know, you could just press Ctrl+C (Copy) while the error message is active, then paste in notepad, or anywhere else you need the text!

Who would have thought that this would be so simple!
