Tool of the Month: Manage Your Clips

You use Windows' Clipboard, right? You'll love Polar's MultiClipboard, a free utility with skills that are light-years beyond Windows' cut-and-paste function. You use Ctrl-C as usual, but in the background MultiClipboard captures and saves everything you send to the Clipboard. When you are ready to paste, Ctrl-V works for the last clip, or instead you can bring up MultiClipboard with a hot-key and pick from the saved clips--including images, multiple files, and text. On a network, you have the option of sharing clips; you can make clipped items permanent and assign a shortcut key to each one, too. Get it from Polar Software's Polar MultiClipboard page.
