I had clicked off that stupid checkmark next to Automatically Open Clipboard at least a dozen times. I had clicked off every other checkmark I could find. Every time I went into Excel and copied a couple of times the @#*& Clipboard would open up AGAIN. It looks like you've found a way to get the job done. I just wish Microsoft Office would have honored my first attempts to turn off the clipboard. It shouldn't be that hard. To Meredith Sivick

I have two folders: say 1 and 2. in 1 I have some no. of files. One application processes these files present in 1 and then paste it to 2. This is defined in process itself. Now after some time I copied and paste processed files from folder 2 to my commonly used folder let us say folder 3 then it copied the files from 1 instead of 2, though I copied from folder 2. Is this problem anyhow related with clipboard's any limitation? Reply is warmly welcome...
