bigaldoc Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 This is not a mission-critical item, but something I'd like to fix (hack) if possible and I've been Googling on it and can't find an answer, even at the Microsoft site.Is the Windows clipboard "protected" in some way for (possible) security improvement or something? Can one change or patch around it?I use ClipMate Clipboard Extender and have multiple licenses so I have it running in Windows 7. It IS certified for Win 7 and is working just fine.However, I also have an old, old program called Smiley Pad which is out of business but I've been using in XP for quite some time. It's a smiley management program that allows me to keep my own stock of smileys and insert them in text, emails or forum postings. Smiley Pad is not working in Win 7 and I think it's a problem with the clipboard even though I'm using Clipmate.When I attempt to insert a smiley, the drag-n-drop looks OK and there is (the normal) Smiley Pad "chirp" sound that it makes when you drag a smiley, but no smiley appears, such as I just tried to do in this post.So, does anyone know if MS is doing something "special" with the Win 7 clipboard to protect me from myself?
