Tutorial on how to create a free cclip (clear clipboard) command on Windows
(As always, please improve so that everyone benefits from your input.)
Given that, at least on mobile devices, free software that should NOT be
reading your clipboard _is_ reading your clipboard, it behooves us to
consider automatic and/or manual deletion of the clipboard contents.

For clipboard contents manual deletion:
o Win+R cmd echo off | clip
For clipboard contents auto deletion freewa

*Here's a method I just implemented & documented for others to benefit*.
1. Create a shortcut named cclip.lnk (i.e., clean clipboard):
Use any hierarchy you like; I put mine in my system "Run" directory:
C:\data\sys\run\cclip.lnk
TARGET = %comspec% /c "echo off | clip"
START IN: C:\Windows\system32
2. If desired, create a "cclip" command using the AppPaths key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ap p Paths\
New Key === cclip.exe
Default === C:\data\sys\run\cclip.lnk
Note: The key name can be anything you want it to be
(as long as it ends with ".exe")
Note: There could be, but on my system, there is no file
actually named 'cclip.exe' (as it's just a keyword).
Now you can easily execute the command using the Run window:
o Win+R cclip
3. If desired, set the link icon to something easily distuinguished.
Use any hierarchy you like; I put mine in my system "Icon" directory:
C:\data\sys\icon\cclip.ico
For example, I created this icon in a minute using Irfanview:

Note: You can obtain free icons from a billion locations on the net:

https://www.iconspedia.com/search/clipboard/
https://www.flaticon.com/free-icons/copy-clipboard
https://www.iconfinder.com/search/?q=clipboard
https://icons8.com/icon/set/no-clipboard/win10
https://iconarchive.com/tag/window-clipboard
etc.
4. If desired, pin that icon to the taskbar for quick access.
5. If desired, you can combine multiple commands as needed, e.g.,
TARGET = %comspec% /k [1st command] & [2nd command] & [3rd command]...
For example (based on "killall.bat" examples found in alt.msdos.batch):
SHORTCUT = killall.lnk
TARGET = %comspec% /c "echo off | clip" & veracrypt /dismount /force /q & taskkill /f /fi "USERNAME eq %COMPUTERNAME%\%USERNAME%" /IM *

I searched for pre-existing solutions before writing this tutorial:
