NiceClip

Some users, such as programmers, often get mixed up when having to copy multiple things to the clipboard, as it is easy to replace something important without realizing you have yet to paste it somewhere else.

In this situation, a utility like NiceClip can be incredibly useful. It remembers every text string that has been copied to the Windows clipboard, allowing you to access them again at any time. It runs in the system tray and is very simple to use.

The application consists of a single executable file, and it does not need to be installed before use. You can launch it from anywhere on your PC, making things very straightforward for first-time users.

When you attempt to close the main window, the application is sent to the system tray, and it continues to monitor the clipboard and save content. To bring up the program again, you need to right-click the tray icon and select the NiceClip options. Sadly, double-clicking the icon has no effect.

There is nothing particularly complex about this program, so new users should not run into any issues. All clipboard entries are listed in the main window in the order in which they were added, though you can rearrange them if you wish.

In order to copy one of the text strings to the clipboard, you can either click the Copy button or press Enter. The program also allows you to clear the clipboard or delete everything from the list, but you cannot remove individual items.

It goes without saying that NiceClip isn’t exactly a feature-packed application, but the upside is that the utility is lightweight and simple to use. If all you need is a reliable, unobtrusive clipboard extender, it should do the job just fine.
