Windows clipboard history

[esndb]

Please, add the Windows clipboard history data located at \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Clipboard. Both Pinned and HistoryData folders.

I thought Windows Clipboard data was stored within the ActivitiesCache.db SQLite database. I'm not seeing the Clipboard folder (or anything beyond) on my everyday Windows 10 machine.

So did I. No idea what the HistoryData is for. Trying to figure it out, but no progress so far.

Are you signed into a MS account? I am not in my VM. I wonder if that makes a difference.

https://thinkdfir.com/2018/10/14/clippy-history/ should have some more insight.

Yeah, a sort of dpapi encryption. My MS account does not populate anything other than the "pinned" folder.

The clipboard data is in memory unless you pin stuff I think.
Maybe on sync it's stored on disk as well, can't remember, need to reread the blog post

I couldn't get the DPAPI (new version) to decrypt it though.
