Clipboard Freeware

There is one program I need but can’t find anything like it. I need a SysTray clipboard monitor. It doesn’t need to be a clipboard extender / archiver. All I want it to do is monitor the clipboard and report on the SysTray icon what and how much is in the clipboard. Whenever I copy to the clipboard I want to know whether what I copied is there because sometimes it isn’t. The icon would display T2k for 2kB of text or H43k for 43kB of html or B1.2m for 1.2MB of bit map or J67k for 67 kb of JPEG image, etc. I have searched, but can’t find anything like this.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a tool like that? You might consider contacting clipboard software authors – like the people who make the free Yankee Clipper. Personally, I recommend and use Clipboard+ (a utility that comes bundled with ShellToys XP). That Windows still doesn’t come with a way to manage multiple items on a clipboard is beyond me.
