How to copy error messages as text in Vista  

Long error messages in Vista require some sort of easier way to log all details as accurate information and then search it on internet/tech support to get it fixed.

This may seem a no brainer but any Vista error message that pops up can be copied and pasted just like editing normal text in notepad/wordpad etc.

This copies the entire content of error message in a text file.

Cheers.
