Snipping tool gone missing in Windows 7
I had the snipping tool and was using it frequently. All of a sudden it was gone from accessories. I made sure that tablet pc was enabled. I cannot find it anywhere. When I go to all programs and click on accessories and Tablet PC, under it, it says (empty)...don't know if it is supposed to have anything under it or not. I have done full virus scans, etc. to try to clear up this problem and search for answers but so far nothing. Any other ideas? Is there a way to just download it from somewhere on microsoft site? I don't want to have to do a complete install and have to reset all up again. Thanks for any help.

Do you see this exe? "C:\Windows\System32\SnippingTool.exe" Create a new shortcut to the SnippingTool here: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories"A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" CLIP- Stellvertreter http://www.winvistaside.de/

If you can't find it using Andre's directions, go to Control Panel > Turn windows features on or off and check the option for Tablet PC Components. Jerry

in Windows 7 the Snipping tool no longer depends on Tablet PC like in Vista. It is organized into an own package."A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" CLIP- Stellvertreter http://www.winvistaside.de/
