I'm using RDP to connect to several other systems on our network. Frequently when doing this the clipboard in the not-remote system will fail to work. For example:
- have some RDP connections open
- open Notepad++
- type text
- select text
- right click on selected text, select Copy
- click elsewhere, right click, select Paste
I expect to see the text that I copied pasted in the document. In reality nothing happens. This seems to only happen while using Remote Desktop. Can I get the clipboard to "come back" somehow?
(the solutions here are a bit too extreme (restart) or didn't work at all)

Which version of Remote Desktop are you using on your Windows 7 computer? And have you tried to install the latest update from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2592687/ ?
