If you use remote desktop / terminal services, you're hopefully aware that you can share your clipboard between the local and remote hosts. Sometimes, however, it will just stop working (yay!)  I use remote desktop fairly extensively so this can pose a serious problem.  I've found that if you kill the rdpclip.exe process and rerun it (Start->Run->rdpclip.exe should do it) it will start working again.

I've had lots of success with that trick and not many people know about it;  I guess there aren't too many heavy remote desktop users out there.

On a related note, my machine completely lost all clipboard functionality today.  It was awesomely frustrating.  I especially like when I was able to cut and copy but still not paste.  That was soooo awesome.

Surprisingly, I am using XP and not Vista, so it's a bit mysterious.  It actually took a reboot to fix it.  WTF?
