After you install it, run Yankee Clipper from your programs menu and it will be in your system tray. Every time you copy something it adds it to yankee clipper. Then if you want to paste something from the yankee clipper clipboard, just press alt control V and this brings up a list of all the prior items you have copied. Enter on the one you wish to insert. If you wish to actually work in the program bring up the yankee clipper window with alt control Y and you will find all the items and the menu commands. In the menus you can find such things as save (control S), configuration (shift f10), clear history (control delete), and empty clipboard (control F7) along with other commands and keyboard shortcuts. You can set it to start with windows in the configuration options.
