| Clear the Clipboard When Done Copying / Pasting SUMMARY: Why you should clear Windows 98's clipboard after copying and pasting a large amount of information.
Do you use the clipboard often for cutting, copying, and pasting text files, pictures, or objects? If so, placing large objects in the clipboard, especially on low-memory systems, may cause the system to operate slower. When you are done using the clipboard, therefore, it is to your advantage to clear the clipboard to eliminate any possible speed decreases due to a large amount of memory taken up by the clipboard object. To do so, just open up a Notepad document, press the space bar, then highlight the space bar and select "Edit - Copy." Now your clipboard has been cleared, replaced with just one character.
