Overview

The Advanced Clipboard Lite package is a replacement to the classic Windows clipboard program. It overrides the existing package and replaces it with something more powerful. The Windows clipboard can only perform one copy operation and the next copy operation will overwrite the previous one. With Advanced Clipboard Lite up to 15 copy operations are kept in memory so that they can be used in whatever way the user requires without the immediate need to overwrite one of the 15 clipboard storage slots unless the user chooses to do so.

Once the user has started to use the software, it is hard to see how one would ever go back to using the standard clipboard. It is akin to use a simple calculator and then switching to one with multiple memories and a digital tape of past calculations to reference; such a user wouldn't want to go back to the simple calculator either.

The package will run on both 32-bit and 64-bit computing platforms on Windows 2003, XP, Vista and 7.

Installation

The installation process is really simple with Advanced Clipboard Lite. Very little space is needed for this tiny application. A shortcut icon is offered to be created for you.

Interface

The Advanced Clipboard Lite interface is essentially anywhere where a copy or pasting action can take place. A user can have the Notepad app open and right click to bring up the context menu.

The Main clipboard is shown with a list of up to 15 possible copied items that could individually be pasted into the present location.

Alternatively, when copying something to the clipboard the user has to specify which of the 15 storage clipboard slots they wish to occupy so as not to overwrite something important in the multi-selection clipboard.

Pros

• Throw out the Windows clipboard and use this 15 storage slot version
• Copy up to 15 different items in the new clipboard
• Paste the contents of the clipboard into an application by selecting from a menu
• Never overwrite clipboard information again once you have 15 clipboard spaces to use
• Works with Windows Vista, 2003, XP and 7 (32 and 64 bit)

Cons

• Lacks the advanced features of another clipboard package like AutoClipX.

Alternatives

Similar software are: CloudClippy, Clipdiary, Clipboard Master, AutoClipX.

Conclusion

Advanced Clipboard Lite is a useful application because it boosts the native clipboard capabilities to a 15 storage version so that 15 different pieces of information, artwork or other item can be clipped and storage for the user. This can help to save a lot of time and avoid losing copied items in the single-entry Windows clipboard.
