In Visual Studio, I can cycle through my clipboard history by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+V rather than CTRL+V. I believe it's called a clipboard ring. But that feature doesn't seem to exist outside of Visual Studio, at least not with the same key combination. Is there a key stroke combination built in to windows to do the same, i.e. be able to cycle through your clipboard history while pasting?

dunno about win7, did you assume that it does? Winxp has no clipboard history! For win xp at least, Look at c:\windows\system32\clipbrd.exe it's pretty crappy. You may need an alternative. – barlop Feb 25 '11 at 13:28
I am using Windows 7. Honestly, I just assumed that the feature would work the same, independent of windows version - seems that may not be the case. And I wasn't aware that XP had no clipboard history. – carmbrester Feb 25 '11 at 13:32

Windows (7 and previous versions) does not have such a built-in clipboard management feature; but you might want to see the answers to the following question: Whats the best 'simple' clipboard manager available?
