Everyone and their grand mothers know that Windows clipboard captures only piece of text or any data at a time. CLCL is a clipboard monitoring utility which lets you monitor all clipboard activity and automatically save all data transferred through it. It is quite compact (100 KB) and doesn’t even needs installation. Just unzip and run.

Supports All Formats (text, images …)

It supports all clipboard formats from just plain text to OLE objects (an image, word documents formats etc). It also provides support for Unicode Text format through a plug-in. Various plug-ins extend its functionality such as uppercase/lowercase conversion, Word Wrap, Always on Top, etc.

It actually runs in as two applications: the monitor itself, which resides in the system tray, captures the clipboards’ content automatically, and lets you view the last few captured items right from the context menu, and the configuration utility.

It is free, lightweight and extremely easy to use. If you copy and paste a lot more than usual, and need to reuse clipboard’s content, then this utility is for you.

The following registry hack allows for automatically killing a task if it becomes unresponding. This is a quite useful trick since every now and then some application does become un-responding.

Make sure to backup your registry before trying to edit the registry. Follow the procedure:

Start Registry Editor. (Start->run->”regedit”)
• On the left, navigate to,

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

• Create a new DWORD entry or alter the value, named “AutoEndTasks” and set its value as 1.
• Create a new DWORD entry or alter the value, named “HungAppTimeout” and set its value as 1000.
• Create a new DWORD entry or alter the value, named “WaitToKillAppTimeout” and set its value as 1.
• Exit registry editor.

Now every time an application becomes un-resposnding it will automatically be killed.
