ClipBook now has two functions: ClipBook itself for long storage of clipboard info and "old" ClipBoard for temporary sorage. When application starts, by default it goes into ClipBook window. I need to change the default view to ClipBoard window. I thought, there should be a command line option (like /something) to display ClipBoard window on startup.
Any idea? Help!

Steeve;
I can't find anything. Maybe it's related to with ClipBook ClipSrv, the
Service.
I've got mine disabled. Are you on a network?

Apropos the "old" Clipboard, one of the things I miss in WinXP is the
ability to clear the clipboard without rebooting. Is there a way to do this
on XP?

I just want somebody to verify that there really are users in Windows XP Home Edition who actually can see a "local clipbook" windows when they open clipbrd.exe. I only get the clipboard window when I open clipbrd.exe. I have posted my question in various places and the only responses I get are from other people who can't get a local clipbook window in XP. If there is anybody who does get a local clipbook window I would like to try to find out what the difference is between their system and my system so I can try to fix the problem.

To begin with, my clipbrd.exe has a size of 97K and a modification date of 8/29/2002 7:00 am. Is that the same as the one that shows the local clipbook window? What about Microsoft updates -- is there a reliable way to compare what updates we have installed? Help, please!

I added a shortcut in my Start Menu.
Open ClipBook Viewer | click the [X] on the Toolbar | Yes.

The ClipBook Viewer isn't listed in the Accessories folder on the Start menu in
Windows XP, so you might want to create a shortcut to it on your desktop:

Right-click your desktop, point to New, and then click Shortcut.
In the location field, type C:WINDOWS\system32\clipbrd.exe.
Click Next to give it a name, then click Finish and you're all set.]

Cannot say about home version of XP. Mine is XP Pro and I get local clipbook as a primary window.

There is a "Delete" command under Edit menu. It clear the content of a clipboard. There is also a button on toolbar with "X", which does the same
Again, my XP is professional. May be home edition clipboard viewer is somewhat different?

Sorry I can't help you with your original problem; mine at present is the opposite, or worse

But could you tell me the size and date of your clipbrd.exe? Mine is 97K at 8/29/2002 7:00 am. If yours is different, would it be absolutely cheating for you to send me a copy of yours? If it's the same, I'll have to do something else

Also: in Control Panel / System I see Home Edition, version 2002, Service Pack 1. Do you have any service packs

Thanks. If I could only get to where I have your problem, I might be able to work on that one
