the contents of your clipboard. Microsoft doesn’t plan on rectifying this, saying that it’s a configuration issue. Of course, they don’t tell you when you install IE 5 that your computer is configured to allow sites to raid your clipboard, and that you have to navigate the twisty maze of Internet options to turn it off.
