Re: little windows program...

Windows?  What the heck are you talking about man!  Who uses that OS 
anymore!?!?!  :)  Honestly I think it might be kind of difficult to 
impliment something that does this in windows, seeing as how IE manages 
all of that kind of stuff in Windows.  You might have better luck doing 
something in KDE or Gnome with Linux (I real OS!).  The source is open 
and you can see how the clipboard stuff already works  :)  Just thought 
I would pick on you!  :)
