Unfortunately the new version 2.10 is not stealth any more - it creates a folder "CLCL" with settings and history in AppData. I tried entering the program path for "WorkDir" in the "general.ini", but the folder is still created. Reverting to version 1.12...
v2.1.0
I like(d) CLCL a lot, but on Windows 8/64bit it has a bug for me. I'd set it up to show 19 items in the menu so that the letter 't' is the shortcut for templates menu, unfortunately it doesn't properly register the hotkey of the CLCL program I think because when I press alt-t in any program it always pops up an empty template menu (from CLCL) which shouldn't happen because it not a global hotkey.
Good alternative I found was ArsClip - http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=734 - and set it up as CLCL as close a possible. Still like CLCL though.

Fabulous!
Thanks a lot... Any changelog to understand what changed in this recent version (beside the Unicode support implemented in the previous version)?
Thanks again for the much appreciated update :D
v2.0.2

v2.0.0
@billon
Great news! I thought that this great tiny clipboard manager had been abandoned for good. I could not find any change log but the major change seems to be that now CLCL supports Unicode natively (no need for Unicode plug-in).
v1.1.2
Wow, I haven't used this thing in years. Even though it hasn't been updated since 2005 It runs perfectly fine on Windows 7 x64.
The manual setup is a pain in the bum. Here's a copy with all plugins installed with relative paths, and settings applied as suggested by calm_observer.

V1.1.2
>it writes its settings into a local folder inside its folder
in the app folder there is a file called general.ini;
[GENERAL]
User="Default"
WorkDir="your folder"
set WorkDir to the folder that contains your data folder, in this case Default. note you can have more than one data folder.
also clcl is very good about using relative addressing. it will use the working directory on startup as it's root folder. i find clcl great for traveling ;}
clcl_app.ini
//Input this:
[GENERAL]
portable=1
Restart and it seems to be portable.
Delete the stuff in /appdata.
