The Windows clipboard holds data being temporarily copied/cut and pasted within programs running under the Microsoft Windows operating system. There are various sub-formats of it to handle different sorts of text, graphical, and other data. While this is usually just held in memory, sometimes it may be saved in files with a .clp extension.

[edit] Identification
.clp files begin with a 2-byte signature. Known signatures:
-
0x50 0xc3(Windows 3.1) -
0x51 0xc3(NT) -
0x52 0xc3("BK")
[edit] Specifications
Documentation of the .clp file format is lacking, but ReactOS is open source, and appears to support at least one version of the standard format (WriteClipboardFile() in clipbrd/fileutils.c).
[edit] Software
For .clp files:
- Clipboard Viewer / ClipBook Viewer - Included with Microsoft Windows prior to Vista.
- XnView - Can read graphical files.
- IrfanView - Can read graphical files.
- Deark
