This is useful, for example, to hide sensitive information, such as passwords. The clear timeout can be configured freely and defaults to 30 seconds. Also, the clipboard will *not* simply be cleared at a fixed interval. Instead, the clear timer will be *reset* every time that new content is copied to the clipboard. This ensures that only "stale" content will be cleared; recently copied content will *never* be cleared away. *Note:* The ClearClipboard program runs "hidden" in the background. However, there will be an icon in the [notification area](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/uxguide/winenv-notification), which can be used to control or terminate ClearClipboard. Only one instance of ClearClipboard can be running at a time. + # System requirements ClearClipboard runs on Windows Vista or newer.
