Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREECNET Editors' review
Just about anyone who uses a computer knows how useful the clipboard can be, but it's not hard to become frustrated by its limitations. Wouldn't it be great to be able to access previously cut and copied items, not just the most recent one? There are plenty of programs that let you do exactly that, and Clipboard Magic is one of them. This easy-to-use tool keeps all of your clipboard items handy and easily accessible, and it's a great choice for anyone who frequently moves text between documents or wants an easy way to save important information.
Clipboard Magic appears as an icon in the Windows system tray, and once it's running, you don't really have to do anything to use it. Just cut and copy as you normally would, and the program stores all of the text; a list displays brief previews of all items, and clicking on the expand button reveals the full text of each one.
You can also save, open, and edit lists of clips, and a configuration menu lets you easily customize the program's behavior, including suspending clip archiving. We weren't able to get Clipboard Magic's Help file to load, but this was a minor drawback; we found the program to be extremely intuitive, and we didn't have any questions about it.
Overall, we loved Clipboard Magic, and we think it's a great addition to any computer. Even if you don't think you need it, you might be surprised to find how useful it is.

"Installed this and it wouldn't work. Kept freezing."
Version: Clipboard Magic 5.0
Pros
None that I could see at all!
Cons
It just froze. Couldn't get the toolbars at the top to work and once it was on screen, I couldn't get rid of it. I couldn't exit the thing and had to use the Task Manager to get rid in the end. I tried everything and at the finish got fed up and uninstalled it. I have now installed an old version (4) which is just fine. No frills, but that's what I wanted anyway.

"A reliable, solid product for my purposes."
Version: Clipboard Magic 5.0
Pros
Reliable, easy to use, steady.
Cons
I cannot think of any "cons" for this product. It is easy to use, easy to set up, figure out, etc.
Summary
I use this app for storing stock answers to the various Q+A forums in which I participate. It's a handy tool that I've been using for more than five years now. When my computer was recently serviced by the Geek Squad at Best Buy, they (carelessly) removed this app from my laptop. I was able to download another copy, and surprisingly, my files had been saved on my computer! This is a program I'll always keep. (I am a casual user, email, shopping, finances, Twitter, news, reading, and forums like Yahoo Answers.)
