Suggestion: Auto-Disable Clipboard after a certain time

Post by virtualMwalkingOnTheWater »

Hi everybody,

i like VBs Clipboard function very much, but since I use VB also for security reasons (naively browsing the internet without compromising the host system), I would want the clipboard function to normally be disabled. I don't want every information I copy on the host system to be transferred to the virtual machine clipboard.

I know that you can enable or disable clipboard function at any time, thats fine, (my) problem is that I usually forget to disable clipboard after using it. I'd like to point to antivirus solutions like Kaspersky, which also have a function to temporarily disable the software, by choosing an amount of time, after which the sofware is automatically reenabled again and what is more, to reenable it after reboot at last.

Thank you very much, developers!

I can see this being the source of a huge new batch of "drag and drop has stopped working!" posts hereabouts. If I had your concerns about this feature then I'd just leave it disabled, and rely on shared folders for copying files into and out of the VM.
