Copy more than one thing to clipboard

Many times I want to copy two or three things to the clipboard before
I paste them. Of course, each time you copy to the clipboard, it
overwrites the old contents. Is there a way to copy to the clipboard
and have it add to what is there?

Download 'ClipStore' - a tiny free utility from Microsoft:

That works, but it isn't quite what I'd like to have. For instance, I
am frequently copying two or more links that I will paste into
something else. It would be good if, say, Alt-C (instead of Ctrl-C)
would append the text to what is in the clipboard rather than
overwrite it.

ClipMagic (not free but *very* good and supported)

ClipMate (free)

These let you do a hell of a lot with clips. You can save them and even
organize into a hierarchical list of folders. Very handy for storing
responses to often asked questions in newsgroups or for looking up
information. PowerPaste lets you paste multiple items just by
repeatedly hitting Ctrl+V (each keypress pastes the next item in the
list).

Re: Copy more than one thing to clipboard

Jud,
I don't get you! The Tiny clipstor program has a default of five
buffers. you could have five different URLs - one in each of the buffers -
if you want, and then it's only two-clicks each to retrieve and paste each
into what you want. I've just tried 'appending' two URLs in a text document
and it took a total of two journeys for the mouse over to the clipstor. I'm
sure, with practice this program just might become invaluable to you.

Re: Copy more than one thing to clipboard

ClipMate: http://www.thornsoft.com/

It is not free as VangardLH suggests but it is well worth the money.
I have used it for many years and wouldn't be without it.
It will append as well as many other facilities.

Well, I don't want five buffers, I'd rather have it all go into one
buffer so it takes only one operation to cut and one to paste them all
into somewhere else.
