When I'm using remote desktop to connect to my PC from my laptop(both running Windows 7 ultimate), RDPClip.exe never gets started. I can run it manually and copy/paste will work just fine, but I have no idea why it won't start automatically.
I've done the usual of making sure the "Drives" checkbox is checked, but other than that I have no idea why it's mad.

Ensure that you're using the latest Remote Desktop Connection 7.0 client update.
Even if you're using the latest version, re-installing the RDP client and rebooting might help.
Verify that rdpclip.exe is in its right place : C:\Windows\System32\rdpclip.exe.
Also verify that the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\Wds\rdpwd contains the right entry for StartupPrograms. It should contain "rdpclip", but you can also try the full path "C:\Windows\System32\rdpclip.exe".
The last-ditch solution, used when no better one is found, is to use a .bat file that contains:
Taskkill.exe /im rdpclip.exe
Rdpclip.exe
Some people even added this script as a startup item, and report that this solved the problem (after reboot).

That's weird. :)
One place to check is the registry key (on the machine you are trying to RDP TO) HKey_Local_Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\Winstations\RDP-Tcp\fDisableClip
Ensure it's set to 0 -- If fDisableClip is set to 1 then rdpclip.exe won't run.

Thanks for replying, I checked this and it's already set to 0. – Ross – 2010-05-18T22:28:51.807

On the remote desktop client click the options button and go to local resources and make sure that the clipboard option is checked before initiating the connection.

Thanks for this. For some reason the registry entry for StartupPrograms had no value in it. That fixed it! – Ross – 2010-06-10T22:29:17.913
Unfortunately it seems that this doesn't fix it in all cases. In my computer everything is fine (also checked this http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/is/winserverTS/thread/d92ad1c3-826f-496b-8145-bb31615c55fe) and still cant set it up to start automatically. If I start rpdclip manually everything is fine.
