  1. Right-click on the desktop or elsewhere, and choose New \ Shortcut from the menu.

  2. Then in the shortcut location box, enter the following command:

    cmd /c "echo off | clip"

  3. At this point you'll have an icon that will immediately clear the clipboard… but we can tweak it a bit further.

  4. Right-click on the icon and choose Properties, and then change the Run drop-down to "Minimized" to make sure you don't see the command prompt. You can also assign a shortcut key here.

  5. If you click the Change Icon button and then browse down to this file, you can find a clipboard icon: %SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll

  6. Now we've got a icon that will clear out the clipboard.
