This policy setting allows you to define applications and processes that can access the Clipboard without prompting the user. Note: Do not enter the Internet Explorer processes in this list. To enable or disable Internet Explorer processes use the “Bypass prompting for Clipboard access for scripts running in the Internet Explorer process” policy.
