The only way I've found to activate the snip tool is with the link on the
Windows Help and Support page. Obviously, there must be a better way. Don't
see it anywhere. Thanks for your help - IM
 
I sent a shortcut to my desktop and then dragged it to my Quick Launch area.

Make a shortcut on your desktop, or add it to your start menu. The actual
file location is here: %SystemRoot%\system32\SnippingTool.exe
 
Check in (c):\Windows\System32 for SnippingTool.exe--drag it somewhere to
make a shortcut.
If it's not in Windows/System32, you may find it in
Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-tabletpc-snippingtool_31bf...............
You may need to unhide system files/folders in Explorer to see either.
 
Imageman,

Click Start, type "snippingtool" in the Search box, and press ENTER. Does it work? The file SnippingTool.exe is located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder.

With snipping tool open, go to options then ensure there is a tick in
quicklaunch option. This will place a shortcut in the quicklaunch toolbar.
 
Friends - Thank you all for your help. I used the 'Ramesh' solution and it
worked. I have Vista Ultimate by the way. Don't know why the tool wasn't in
accessories - IM
 
It's included but not necessarily installed.

It is located under Tablet PC -- in XP you got to Windows Components in
Add/Remove Programs but in VISTA I've forgotten where I had to go to
get it.

For some reason with my installation of snipping tool I can save a
capture to a file but it won't go into the clipboard to copy/paste.
 
Thanks for the update!

I used the snipping tool without fail, every day, 3-4x a day and then all of a sudden POOF it was gone. A previous poster gave me the answer. I use VISTA Ultimate w/SP 2.

Click the pretty blue Start button lower left of your computer screen (has the windows logo on it). Then follow below to select proper destination. Your start menu may vary, but the items listed below are the correct "names" to look for:

Computer -> Local Disc (C) -> Windows (you might have to open the folder by double Left clicking, depending on how your system is set up) -> System 32 (ditto) -> Look for "snippingTool.exe" in the list (should be in alphabetical order).

Click snippingTool.exe to highlite and then DRAG to your pretty start button. You can also create a shortcut by Right clicking, hover over Send To and then Left Click Desktop.

I hope that helps any novice users to find what they are looking for. Sometimes the advanced user forgets the little things, and that can mean success or failure!
