Is it possible to use an alternative clipboard in Windows 7 instead of the default one. I have researched quite a bit online but I was only able to find clipboard managers which was not what I was looking for.

What features are you looking for that a clipboard manager cannot accomplish? How's this? http://sourceforge.net/projects/ditto-cp/

1Is the software limiting you or the clipboard? – MC10 – 2015-08-06T12:17:44.343
Why don't you want to use a clipboard manager? I LOVE my clipboard manager. You could just use it as an alternative clipboard, without taking advantage of the other features. – aparente001 – 2015-08-06T13:10:57.683
@mc10 the software is limiting anything that is copied to 10 lines as it uses the underlying windows copy thereby limiting the clipboard manager. – Pete – 2015-08-06T13:40:45.370
@aparente001 I used kana clip but still the copy had a message from the software appended to the copied text so that was not what I was looking for. – Pete – 2015-08-06T13:45:42.230
I use Arsclip and I love it. http://www.joejoesoft.com/vcms/97/

The program you are using refuses to place more than 10 lines on there. The only way to change that is to use another program to read that file. A proper answer is impossible here, given the lack of details about the file. – Chris Thornton – 2015-08-07T12:57:01.230
@ChrisThornton I was using a program installed as an extension in visual studio to copy the files to the clipboard. I came across this [link] (https://goo.gl/GkL6nW) extension in visual studio which copies the contents to an auxiliary clipboard. So I was wondering whether there are any stand alone programs available to do the same thing.
