Clipbox

Clipboard helps to view clipboard history. It is a free, open-source
clipboard utility for Windows, a simple tool with minimal resource
usage. It holds text that you have copied, writes to disk immediately
on copying, works well with large chunks of text, removes duplicates.
The advantage of writing to disk is that you can recover copied data
whenever you need it. ClipBox works alongside the regular windows
clipboard and remembers every piece of data, even dozens of them.
ClipBox Pro can handle many screen capture tasks, allowing you to
capture the whole screen or any area of screen.

The 119.9 KB Clpbox free edition (Clipbox-0.1-bin.zip), v5, can be
downloaded at http://snipurl.com/clipbox

It is portable software and does not require installation. It does not
add any entries to your registry either.

Chameleon

As many viruses, trojans, bloated softwares tend to reside in the
start up items it would be prudent to watch the StartUp Menu
carefully. However, choosing which one to load or not at Windows start
up is not an easy task. Chameleon, a start up manager, is a good one
at that. Chameleon Startup Manager controls programs that run at
Windows startup. This helps to make Windows start faster and operate
with increased stability. Chameleon makes it easy for users to find
out more idetails about these files/applications/programmes, and what
they do - just select the item and then click on the "Find a detailed
description on the internet" button. Chameleon's other features
include: startup order change, startup delay, priority, consecutive
program launch, day selection and much more, some of these features
are found only in the pro versions.

There are three versions of Chameleon, the free Lite one and the non-
free Standard and Pro ones, for everyday use the lite one should be
just fine. The free lite version can be downloaded at
http://www.chameleon-managers.com/files/cstartup_freeware.exe
