The Windows clipboard is one of those elements that has been accompanying us for many years in different versions of the operating system. Although many times it happens to us almost unnoticed, the truth is that its use is basic in the daily work with the PC.
In fact, if this functionality suddenly disappeared from Redmond’s software, we would surely miss it. Here we copy or move all kinds of content quickly and easily, to take them to another location or program. To say that it is generally not necessary for us to keep a record or manage the clipboard entries .
Moreover, we must bear in mind that many of the applications that do these tasks and that we find on the Internet, are usually malicious in nature. With everything and with it if what we want is to be able to manage everything that we copy to the mentioned Windows clipboard and without danger, we will give you a good solution for it. Therefore, we will talk about the application called ClipLogger .
Record all the entries we make on the clipboard
This is a free and portable program that we can download from this link in order to keep a record of all the text that is copied to the clipboard. Since it is a text-based record, any file as such that is copied to the clipboard will be added as a path.
Therefore, in order to achieve this, we will first download the ClipLogger app and execute it without having to install it. In this way, once it is in operation, in the background it will register both the text and the files that we copy. To say that by default the application only lets us see in its window the clipboard entries, but if we want to save them in a text file , we will have to configure it.
To enable the function, click on the Settings button in the lower left, and activate the Backup contents to file option. Once we have activated this, the application will create a new text file in the same folder where the program executables are located. In the same way and from this same window, we have the possibility to tell the program to start with Windows , or to emit a sound when registering a new entry.
Configure the ClipLogger program in Windows
As we can see its use and configuration is very simple, also say that each clipboard entry will be displayed with the date and time it was copied. Of course, at the same time we must know that if we configure the program to start when Windows starts, everything we copy to the system clipboard will be automatically registered.
It may be the case that we forget that the ClipLogger is working, which in the future could threaten our privacy on a day-to-day basis with the PC . But if what we want is that all this is registered in a file, or temporarily, this application is perfect, since we will not even notice that it is there in operation.
