Every time you’re copying an object using Ctrl + C keys or Edit – Copy menu, that object will copy to clipboard first. And if you paste it into your destination document, you object is still in clipboard. And if your object is confidential, the other user can to look your copied object. They are just pressing the Ctrl + V keys or through Edit – Paste menu and your object is exposed.

Actually you can wipe it through Clipboard Viewer program; you need to open it by type clipbrd in Run box and then click Edit – Delete menu. But I suggest to use this shorten way to delete your copied object.

We’ll using Windows Scripting to do that.

1. Open Notepad by click Start –> Run menu, enter notepad in box and then press Enter.
   
2. Type this script in notepad:

   Set my_obj = CreateObject(“InternetExplorer.Application”)
   my_obj.Navigate(about:blank”)
   my_obj.Document.ParentWindow.ClipboardData.SetData “text”, “”
   my_obj.Quit

   

3. Save the script with file name: empty_clipboard.vbs (you can give it with your own name but keep the vbs extenstion) on your favorite folder. And don’t forget to change the Save as type combo box value to All Files and then click Save button.
   
4. Then empty_clipboard.vbs is created, find it on your chosen location.
   
5. Now, we’ll test this script. Copy an object; open the Clipboard Viewer application with the way that I write above. If you copied it properly, you will see your object on Clipboard Viewer.
   
6. Double click empty_clipboard.vbs icon and then wait for a moment until your cursor be normal.
7. Then switch to Clipboard Viewer again, and there has been emptied.
