File extension used by Microsoft Windows for clipboards. The Windows Clipboard is like a scratch pad available to Windows and all running applications. It allows pieces of information to be temporarily stored and then retrieved later by another application. Say you're writing a report and you see a bit of text on a website that you want to include in your report. You can copy that piece of text to the Windows Clipboard and then when you're ready paste it into your document. Many people use the Windows Clipboard all the time without even realising it. The Clipboard is where stuff goes when you select Edit/Copy, press CTRL-C, or right click and select Copy from the pop up context sensitive menu. When you Cut you're also putting that data on the Windows Clipboard. The difference is that the data is also deleted from the source document. Microsoft windows clipboard (clipbrd.exe) saves and reads its data in files with the .clp extension. a .clp file contains a value identifying it as a clipboard data file; one or more structures defining the format, size, and location of the data; and one or more blocks of actual data.
Information copied to the Windows clipboard; typically copied by selecting an object or section of text and pressing Control-C or choosing "Copy" from the Edit menu; can be pasted into an open window or document by pressing Control-V or selecting "Paste" from the Edit menu.
