How to retreive clipboard history in windows ?

Ever copied a text or a file and forgot to paste it before you copied something else? All of us have problem something like this and we desperately want to retrieve those files , unfortunately windows does not hold the feature that could handle multiple files to copy , however this can be solved by using alternative software for windows.

In this post you will find a few such alternative clipboard managers for Windows using which it would be possible to save and retrieve every piece of information that was copied to the clipboard. here are some lists

1. clip diary
This tool is a powerful clipboard manager which will store every piece of information that was copied to the clipboard including text, images or any other file. Clipdiary automatically loads upon Windows startup and maintains a database to store the history of all copied items.
download clip diary: http://clipdiary.com/download.php

2.clipmagic
ClipMagic is similar to Clipdiary but includes a few extra features that could seem handy for advanced users. 

3. Ditto

Ditto is a powerful alternative to the default Windows clipboard manager which is an open source tool. It keeps track of all the copied items such as text, images and other files so that you can retrieve them whenever necessary. The following are some of the highlights of Ditto:
  • Assign hotkeys 
  • Search and organize the clippings based on task or project
  • Supports unicode so that you can copy foreign and non-standard characters without any issues
  • Get a preview of all the copied items including thumbnails of images just by pressing the assigned hotkey
  • download ditto : http://ditto-cp.sourceforge.net/

  1. For 10 years i was using different clipboard managers. Now time has come and I've made my own clipboard manager - Clip Angel (freeware) for Windows https://sourceforge.net/projects/clip-angel/?source=navbar . It was inspired by AceText and ClipDiary (my favourites).
