Clipx clipboard history manager

If you're like me, a copy & paste maniac, you'll love Clipx. This tiny program sets itself  up unobtrusively in you system tray and records you're copying efforts to the clipboard – up to 1024 of them if you so choose! I find that 100 is sufficient for my use and the ability to recall past copies is invaluable. Whether for copying and recalling content, urls, passwords or just about anything you might want to recall, having Clipx record your efforts pays big rewards and the cost is unbeatable, as in FREE. Options include changing the tray icon, custom hot keys, popup control and even the ability to add plugins to further customize your experience. Do yourself a favor and add this simple but powerful tool to your toolbox. Go here to download Clipx now.
