RDP Clipboard Fix is the client-side fix for loosing your RDP clipboard (server side fix is killing the RDPClip process). Since his site is not archived but some of the links have 404’s, here is the full article with fixed WayBack links:
Did you ever loose Clipboard functionality (copy/paste) while working with several Terminal Server sessions? I think everyone that works a lot with Terminal Server has experienced this from time to time.
It’s caused by badly behaving applications. Dimitry Vostokov wrote a tool to fix this issue for Citrix (RepairCBDChain.exe), he explains the issue very well on his blog:
Windows has a mechanism to notify applications about clipboard changes. An application interested in such notifications has to register itself in the so called clipboard chain. Windows inserts it on top of that chain and that application is responsible to propagate changes down the chain:
If 3rd-party application forgets to forward notifications down then we have a broken clipboard chain and clipboard changes are not sent via ICA protocol:
Read more at Dimitry’s Blog: http://web.archive.org/web/20071019060125/http://citrite.org/blogs/dmitryv/2006/12/09/clipboard-issues-explained/
So how can we fix this for Terminal Server then?
MSTSC creates a hidden window with Window Class RdpClipRdrWindowClass, you can observe this with a Window Spy tool such as X-Spy
If we look at the Window Style we can see the Window is hidden (doesn’t contain WS_VISIBLE):
So we just need to find all windows with this Windows Class and subscribe them to Clipboard Notifications.
The code is simple:
function EnumWindowsProc(hHwnd: HWND; Param:Integer): boolean; stdcall; var ClassName: String; begin SetLength(ClassName, 255); SetLength(ClassName, GetClassName(hHWnd, PChar(ClassName), 255)); if ClassName = 'RdpClipRdrWindowClass' then begin // This is uses to restore the clipboard functionality SetClipboardViewer(hHWND); end; Result := True; end;Using EnumWindows instead of FindWindow (as RepairCBDChain seems to do) has the advantage that it finds multiple windows (when you have multiple sessions) and not just the first.
You can download the compiled version below. If you like it why not leave a comment?

Be sure to read the details in Trying to recover from enhancement software that generates fake input incorrectly – The Old New Thing [WayBack] (much more Old New Think stuff below):
The most insightful part for me was this diagram listing where various methods enter the message pipeline (I added the GetMessage/PeekMessage entry):

On most systems, I use bash as shell, but not all systems have it, for instance the shell.xs4all.nl server uses tcsh and ESXi 4+ uses a very limited ash shell from busybox (ESX 4 had bash though).
There is this huge script that covers many shell and operating system versions (even DOS, Windows) and interpreters (python, ruby, php, etc) what shell is this which I got through Stéphane Chazelas‘s answer in linux – determine shell in script during runtime – Unix & Linux Stack Exchange
I wanted a shorter thing that works in current Linux, BSD, OS X and ESXi versions.
Some very short scripts are less reliable, for instance echo $SHELL looks nice, but isn’t always set.
Similar for echo $0 which will fail for instance if it shows as sh but in fact is a different shell in disguise.
This works for bash, tcsh and busybox sh, is a bit more precise than getting $0. It’s based on HOWTO: Detect bash from shell script – Stack Overflow:
lsof -p $$ | awk '(NR==2) {print $1}'
But on ESXi it shows this because lsof doesn’t take any parameter there and just dumps all information:
----------+---------------------+---------------------+--------+------------------
It’s because lsof on ESXi always shows this header where Cartel and World aren’t exactly well documented:
Cartel | World name | Type | fd | Description
----------+---------------------+---------------------+--------+------------------
Empirically for non VM related processes, it looks like the Cartel is the PID and World name the command.
On Linux and BSD based systems, the header looks like this, so command and PID are reversed in ESXi:
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
This command then works on both ESXi, OS X, Linux and BSD assuming you can word search for the PID and noting that PID/command will be reversed on ESXi as compared to OSX/Linux/BSD:
lsof -p $$ | grep -w $$ | awk '(NR==2) {print $1,$2}'

A long time ago, Thomas Mueller (dummzeuch) – Google+ reminded [WayBack] me of this which I required a short while ago:
You can use
AcquireExceptionObject():AcquireExceptionObject returns a pointer to the current exception object and prevents the exception object from being deallocated when the current exception handler exits.
Then you can send the pointer to another thread and if you raise it there it will be freed for you, otherwise you must call
ReleaseExceptionObject()to free it.
After the answer by Remy Lebeau [WayBack] and Remko [WayBack] is a comment [WayBack] by mghie [WayBack] that mentions AsyncCalls.pas that now is available on GitHub [WayBack].
If you have a very old (version <= 5) Delphi or just want to look at how AcquireExceptionObject [WayBack] looks like just look at a similar implementation there [WayBack]. Note that instead of the ReleaseExceptionObject [WayBack] call, AsyncCalls re-raises the exception [WayBack].

Hopefully by now mkchromecast [WayBack] works on more Linux versions (and maybe even Mac OS X is better supported [WayBack]), but back then it was only available for Ubuntu 16.10 and up:
Do you want to stream the audio from Rhythmbox, VLC or another Linux app to your TV through Chromecast? Well, we’ve found a nifty little Linux tool that lets you do just that.
