re: How do I clear clipboard memory?

You don't really need to clear the clipboard, unless you have an enhanced clipboard it only holds a single entry which is overwritten on the next copy

The only time you should definitly clear it is if you have copied a password, bank account number or other confidential information.
It's possible that if you leave a PC open, someone can just paste into notepad and view whatever you've typed.

re: How do I clear clipboard memory?

To quickly clear the text/image contents from the clipboard, simply select a file in the Desktop and press CTRL+C. The existing clipboard contents will now be replaced by the file name on which you issued the CTRL+C.

Another method is using Windows Scripting. You can create an instance of InternetExplorer.Application object and then manipulate the clipboard.

Copy the following lines to Notepad, and save as ClearClipBoard.VBS. Double-clicking the ClearClipBoard.VBS clears the contents of the clipboard.

re: How do I clear clipboard memory?

I just did this...it works and it's simple.
Open windows explorer.
Do a search for the file "clipbrd"
When the clipbrd application shows up on the search results list, drag the icon to your desk top.
Now you can manage the clipboard anytime you want.

re: How do I clear clipboard memory?

1. RIGHT click an empty space on your desktop.
2. Choose "NEW" then "SHORTCUT" from the menu.
3. This starts a wizard. Where it says "Type the location of the item", type in "C:\WINDOWS\system32\clipbrd.exe" (Without quotation marks, and assuming that your OS is on drive letter C)
4. Click Next
5. Name the shortcut "Clipboard Viewer"
6. Click ok.
Anytime you want to see the contents of the clipboad, click on this shortcut. You can edit, copy, or delete the info from the clipboard.

Enjoy!

re: How do I clear clipboard memory?

for depth-related issues, try changing desktop depth to 16 (or something else) ... then back to your normal bit-depth. this worked for a situation i was in. clipbrd didnt have a solution.

re: How do I clear clipboard memory?

The easier way is to press 'Ctrl + R' OR Start > Run to get to the command prompt; type in 'clipbrd' to open up the clipboard viewer, then when focused on that application, press Delete and then Enter to confirm. This will clear the clipboard.

(In what operating system Harry? -PZ)

re: How do I clear clipboard memory?

Ever since I last used '98 (I'm now on XP Pro), I can remember opening Clipboard Viewer by going to Start > Programs > Accessories > Clipboard Viewer. I can remember that this small built-in program shows you what is in the clipboard. Have a look through the menus to clear the contents.

re: How do I clear clipboard memory?

\WINDOWS\System32\Clipbrd.exe can also be found in Windows XP Pro! Running the utility and selecting File>Del will clear the clipboard.

re: How do I clear clipboard memory?

The MS Office clipboard is separate to the Windows clipboard.

The Windows clipboard viewer is present in Windows XP, but a shortcut is not created for launching it. You'll need to create your own entry on the Start menu for it. The file you need to point the entry to is:

\WINDOWS\System32\Clipbrd.exe

re: How do I clear clipboard memory?

Open an Office document Click EDIT > OFFICE CLIPBOARD then on the right hand side of the document you will see the Clipboard and it''s contents then click CLEAR ALL.
This works using Win XP using Office XP and Office 2003 but I am unsure in earlier versions of Office or Win98.
Terry would you know?
