What is rdpclip and why is it listed as a startup program. Although System Configuration's Startup tab doesn't list it, my system cleaner software does list it. But, I don't find it in any of the Run keys.

I wouldn't have noticed it in the first place if I hadn't looked in the star programs section of the software.
Out of site out of mind.
