It appears the only way to open a .CLP file is to run clipbrd.exe, and
use File menu> Open to select a saved .CLP file. I see the same
behaviour as you when I double-click a .CLP file. The registry entries
are correct as far as I can see, and adding the full path to the
shell\open\command does not affect it.

I vaguely recall it working in Win95 or 98, but I don't have those handy
right now to check. I would not be surprised if some patch of a
security vulnerability caused this reduced functionality. I recall
there was a malformed CLP file buffer overflow vulnerability in a Corel
app a few years ago

It does not work in Win98SE and WinMe as well?

As I stated in my previous reply:

clipbrd.exe was included in WinXP, 2000, ME, 98 and probably 95 and Windows
for Workgroups. It no longer exists under Windows 7.
