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!

The only way I have found to activate the snip tool is with the link on th

Re: How to activate the 'Snip' tool?
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.

Re: How to activate the 'Snip' tool?
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.
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 was not in
accessories - IM
It's included but not necessarily installed.
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.

I found MY missing snipping Tool
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!
