Don,
About the easiest way to clear the clipboard is to open a text editor
such as Notepad or Word or Wordpad and typy a period.. Highlight the period
and RIGHT click on it and select COPY... That will empty the clipboard of
all except the . .
The other way is a little more complicated, but you can go to the
C:/Windows/System32 folder in Explore and double click CLIPBRD.EXE. and it
will open the Clipbook Viewer and in the lower left of the window you will
see a minimized window... Click to Maximize that little window bar and
voila, you will see the clipboard content... You cannot highlight it so you
need to go to EDIT and select DELETE... That will wipe it clean also... I do
not like to see novices playing around in the System32 folder... One mistake
there and you could have a mess..
HTH,

Install a clipboard viewer like this one, it will be handy even for other
purposes:
