11/14/2007 -- If the security level for your Internet zones (Tools, Internet Options, Security) in Internet Explorer 5.0 or later is set to High, you're already preventing Web sites from accessing your local clipboard.
However, if your security level isn't set to High and you still wish to prevent IE's dynamic HTML from accessing your Web site, you should disable the "Allow paste operations via script" option. Here's the procedure:
1. Start Internet Explorer.
2. Go to Tools, Internet Options and click on the Security tab.
3. Select the Internet zone and click Custom Level.
4. Under the Scripting section, configure the "Allow paste operations via script" option to Disable and then click OK. In IE 7.0, the option is called "Allow Programmatic clipboard access."
