Can I redirect the clipboard??

[=?iso-8859-1?B?xXNl?=]

Situation:

We have a lobby with 25 Windows XP client computers open
to the public. Windows 2000 server network with Group
Policy in place. Group policy locks down computers,
prevents access to C: drive. Customers use floppy disks
to save their data. 5 mandatory, roaming profiles are
used (each with a different active printer).

Problem:

It was just discovered that customers somehow are sharing
the windows clipboard. When one customer clicks on paste,
a line from another customer's document is pasted! This
happened with customers using different profiles. This is
very problematic since customers are working with
personal data.

Question:

How can we find out where the clipboard is located? How
can we force windows to use a local clipboard, so that
data is not shared?

The Clipboard Viewer is an old Windows accessory that is no longer
referenced in the Start menu, but is still available to you from within the
System32 folder as clipbrd.exe.
All users use the same clip board.
Best solution is to have the customers clear their data from the clip board
before they log off. Create a shortcut to the clipboard for easy access to
it and to clear it.
There is some sharing stuff in there as well, but I'm not sure how it works.

what i would to is disable the clipboard (if possible)
and force customers to manually enter data. providing
that data is not huge/long names/numbers.

there might be 3rd party software that will do this.
check with some of these business style companies that
advertise on tv with business services.

we must become more accurate in our daily
life...computers have made some of us lazy..including me.
