How to paste clipboard to paint?

[AtleastItried]

I want to paste an image from my clipboard to a new paint window. My problem is, that if the image is smaller that a certain size, thre will be a white border left. Is there an easy way to get rid of that?

Simply re-scale the size of a new window to 1x1 px. Once you paste a new content to it it will be enlarged to its captured size.
Beside that you could use GDI+ to create an image from a variable/the clipboard without using MSPaint.

Is there an easy command to do that to a paint window? If I simply make it smaller the drawing area stays the same.
