Remote Desktop - rdpclip.exe

I use Remote Desktop for a lot of purposes: contacting servers and doing administrative tasks, using machines that I have long running background tasks on, without requiring yet another monitor on my desk (I already have four). However, anyone who uses it frequently has encountered the problem with clipboards being erratic.

This older post (November 2006) explains a lot of the complexity, but the key takeaway:

* If remote to local fails, kill RDPCLIP.exe (if running) and then start->run->"rdpclip.exe" to restart it.
* If local to remote fails, reconnect
* If the CPU spikies, kill RDPCLIP.exe *AND* optionally reconnect
