Abstract
A computer device and respective method provides a primary clipboard accessible from a primary user account, while a sandbox is used to isolate and contain a secondary user account. A secondary clipboard is provisioned and associated with the secondary user account. The computer device, via an agent, intercepts requests from the secondary user account such as for cut, copy or paste type clipboard operations which are ordinarily directed toward the primary clipboard, and satisfies those clipboard operation requests instead by using the secondary clipboard.
