I have user who is using Remote Desktop to login to an XP workstation. Quite often copy/cut/paste does not work in the XP Remote session. This is simply copying from one place in XP to another place in XP. This doesn't involve copying from XP to local or vice-versa. Anybody had this problem?

Are they using keyboard shortcuts or the right click menu? Maybe the shortcuts don't work in rdp? Or you have to enable them?

We've tried all 3 (keys, right-click, Edit menu). I just had the user open Clipbrd.exe and switch the window from Local Clipbook to Clipboard. Now it's working even after logging off and logging in. It has been on and off before though so I don't doubt it will mess up again soon.
