CNET editors’ review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This unimpressive utility offers only the most basic of clipboard managers, along with several unrelated options to perform common Windows tasks. EasyClip’s floating toolbar provides access to a clipboard manager, an address book, a file browser, and an IE Favorites list. The clipboard manager window is drab and unappealing, with a list of items and only a few options for pasting or removing. Formatting won’t be saved, and you can’t copy images. Though you can use the program to browse files, perform shutdown operations, or run programs, EasyClip doesn’t enhance these processes, and its features typically offer less functionality than their Windows’ counterparts. In the case of the address book, it merely launches the Windows program. There’s nothing revolutionary about this program’s clipboard- or computer-management capabilities and most users, especially the more advanced, will be disappointed by its limited functionality and uninviting design.

Multiple clipboard manager extends the basic windows clipboard and makes you never lose any text that has ever been copied.
