It seems that in the new Windows 7 the tool “Clip” is included. According to Technospot.net you can use this tool to copy any text inside the command prompt. Just type “| Clip” follow with any command you entered.

This will copy the output result of the command to the system clipboard.

For example, type and run the following command in Run dialog box.
