What is the "norandom" option in Clippy?

Not Rated 0 votes Rate this answer

By default, Clippy picks messages randomly. If you add norandom as a command-line argument (for example, clippy.exe 60 norandom), it will cycle through messages in sequential order instead. This is useful if you have created a custom message file with a specific narrative or escalating series of messages.
