It’s only recently that I have begun to realise the full potential of the Windows clipboard. Normally I copy and paste text all the time and never give the actual clipboard a second thought. But after reading Lifehacker’s Top 10 Clipboard Tricks, I now realise there is more to it than just pressing CTRL + C.

Recently I found a nice little freeware program called ClipX. It’s described as a “Clipboard History Manager” and it is proving to be insanely useful. It basically remembers all the text and images that you have copied and pasted to the clipboard and you can retrieve any of it at any time by clicking on the relevant entry.
