Clear clipboard with .bat file

Hello!
On my home computer I have a file effacer.ps1 on my desktop with contents
which clears Windows clipboard on double click.
At my work the computer refuses to run Powershell scripts, I can't change the execution policy.
Is there a way to achieve the same thing with cmd.exe: a file, which will clear the clipboard on double click?
Thanks!

This merely writes an empty clip to the clip board. If clipboard History is enabled, previous clips will be viewable using WinKey + V
There are methods for resolving this in batch, however they require administrator access. See:

To disable clipboard history, The reg value can be changed using the following command:
Code: Select all
reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Clipboard /v EnableClipboardHistory /t REG_DWORD /d 0x0 /f

Simple searches unfortunately do not uncover the details that testing does.
