Extended Clipboard

Extended Clipboard is a powerful and easy-to-use application that, as the name suggests, extends the functionality of your Windows Clipboard. To be more specific, it remembers all clips and places them in a single area, enabling you to review history and retrace your steps when working on important projects. It supports only text, including URLs and file paths.

As long as you have .NET Framework on your computer, you don't need to set up anything else. This means that you can extract the archive contents to a custom location on the HDD and double-click the .exe to launch Extended Clipboard. It doesn't make permanent modifications to the Windows registry, require any DLLs to run, or create additional files on the disk without your permission.

The app runs in the systray, gets minimized there on close, and shows a notification message by default every time the Clipboard receives a new clip. All records are displayed in the main window, where you can view the name, type, date of creation, and size of each item.

Double-clicking an entry from the list makes the clip active. This can also be done from the tray icon's right click menu. Moreover, the tool implements options for previewing text contents, editing clips, exporting them to file and importing them later, deleting clips, as well as for resorting to a search tool.

As far as program settings are concerned, you can ask the utility to embed the content of files that are copied, disable tray alerts, as well as deactivate its minimization to the systray.

Extended Clipboard is equipped with intuitive options for managing Clipboard history. However, some options didn't respond to commands in our tests, such as the export, import, and search tool. CPU and RAM usage was minimal.
