Also yes, Citrix can have this disabled by policies and I think RDSH too. However it relies on all your sensitive apps being Citrix-hosted and I would struggle to justify the cost of a Citrix solution for this alone

Thanks for the update. So NO, you cannot disable copy paste, and clipboard on a local machine.

why would you want to disable the clipboard? otherwise you need third party tools. I have read about autohotkey which replaced the clipboard with a textbl stating the clipboard was disabled.

Further, if you disable Copy / Paste, Word, Excel and Power Point will be very awkward to use. You will not be able to move files around.

Why? To do so would render the machine useless.
Clipboard is internal and it cannot be eliminated.
What is your need?
