Location and Edit of Clipboard

[rwinegar]

Can anyone tell me where the clipboard resides, how to view what is on the clipboard and how to clear it. Also does the clipboard clear itself and when?

Thanks a lot.

Its called Clipbrd.exe and it resides in C:\Windows\System32.

How to view the contents, I don't know.
Does it clear itself, I would think so. It may have a set size that it can't get beyond so it should remove the oldest material.

To view the contents of the Clipboard, just open the clipbrd.exe file.

As far as I know, unless you're using MS Office 2000 or later, the Windows clipboard holds only one thing and that's the last thing you copied.

The clipboard clears on reboot unless you use a 3rd party "clipboard enhancer" application, most of which have a "clear clipboard" feature. I use 3D Clip, there are other free ones out there and I don't remember how I got along without one.
