We use remote desktop a lot (XP to Server 2003), and people are having trouble with the clipboard randomly not working. After ensuring that all drives were selected for the remote connection, and rdpclip was killed/restarted, the clipboard works again.

I'm wondering if there's a way I can automate this process for the users so I don't have to manually kill and restart rdpclip every time it stops working for someone. Could I write a batch file that would kill rdpclip and restart it only for the current user? Is there a better solution?

To restart it in a .bat:

taskkill /f /im rdpclip.exe /fi "username eq %USERNAME%"
start rdpclip.exe
exit
