My two cents worth, why not capture the same technology that the men in black use that flashes the user when the text dissappears so they have no recollection of seeing let alone reading the confidential information ;)
Sorry for that its Friday, and Im bored ;) Chris >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 18/02/2005 9:44:47 a.m. >>> Ah Ha, I see a conspiracy. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> I know, when I thought about it a bit more I realized you would also need to play music through the speakers very loudly to stop someone using voice control. Anyway you would probably get sued for discrimination by a 2 fingered person out there somewhere...

I realise that for a techo user there are always ways to capture information with special programs, I am just trying to cater for usual methods with typical users who would use the clipboard. I guess I could require the user to close all other programs, which would eliminate other monitoring programs, but I am not sure how to check between task bar programs (which they would be happy to close) and those in the system tray (such as virus checkers which they may not want to).
