It can be frustrating to lose what you copied because you forgot about it and copied something else instead. It’s even more frustrating when a bug causes you to lose what you copied. Yahoo! Messenger 11.5, for example, has such a bug – copy some text, then click on a smiley, and you will see that the text you copied has been replaced with the smiley. You don’t have to put up with this sort of frustration as long as you use a properly good clipboard manager such as Comfort Clipboard Pro. Everything you copy is stored by this application, so you can access it whenever you want to.

To get started with Comfort Clipboard Pro, you will have to get a lightweight 2.4MB installation file off the web and onto your computer. The most noticeable thing about the simple setup wizard is that it asks you to pick one of the many supported languages. Apart from that, it is a standard setup wizard that will help you quickly install Comfort Clipboard Pro on your machine. Support for 32 and 64-bit editions of Windows 7, Vista, and XP is provided.

The first time you run Comfort Clipboard Pro, you will be presented with an Initial Setup Wizard that will help you set the basic parameters for the application. While Comfort Clipboard Pro is running, you will notice an icon in the system tray; double click it to access the application’s interface or use the default hotkey Win + Insert (you can change the hotkey to something else if you want to.

The Comfort Clipboard Pro is fairly straightforward. Anything you copy is displayed as a list in the right hand side. Copy some text in a notepad or Word document, and it will be displayed there. Copy a URL in your browser, and an entry will be added to the list. Copy an executable, and it will also be added to the list.

When you select an entry from the list, say the aforementioned URL, and hit paste, the URL will be pasted. When you select an entry from the list, you will see the contents of that entry in a preview window in the left hand side of the interface. Underneath this window you will see several “Paste As” options – you can choose how you want to paste the URL. And speaking about that, you can assign hotkeys to the entries in the list. With a simple hotkey you can paste here the URL we’ve been talking about.

Putting the spotlight on the visual, it must be mentioned that Comfort Clipboard Pro provides support for themes. There are several themes to choose from and change the way the application looks. And moving on to security, some users will appreciate that Comfort Clipboard Pro supports data encryption.

Please note that there are two Comfort Clipboard editions available for purchase: Comfort Clipboard Lite and Comfort Clipboard Pro. The Pro version is feature-complete and free to try for a 30-day period.

Forget about the default clipboard offered by Windows. Take things to the next level with the incredibly useful and user friendly clipboard manager Comfort Clipboard Pro.

Pros

Support for a long list of languages is supported. Use hotkeys to access the Comfort Clipboard Pro interface, assign hotkeys to copied content displayed in the application’s interface. The interface is easy to use and it can be customized using themes. Preview and edit copied content. Assign sounds to various program events (sounds are disabled by default).

Cons

Free to use for a 30-day trial.
