The link used to work, but has stopped working as of mid-March. The KB article has also strangly disappeared. I suspect a windows update that came through in mid-March caused this fix to no longer work. This is quite frustrating, as I really enjoyed this feature before it stopped working.

I think Microsoft removed this utility because it broke the Excel-specific Paste Special behavior between workbooks.
