Re: How to use the Snipping Tool in Vista

Thank you for the tutorial. I think I may still have some hair left. Trying to figure this out took a lot of hair pulling.

Is it possible to put the snipping tool function on the taskbar?

Hi pyewacket97 and welcome to the forums

Not that I am aware of, other than to create a shortcut in the Startup folder. However, you can place a shortcut in the Quick Launch area on the taskbar.

Sure,

Find Snipping Tool in the start menu, right click it and from your right click menu select Add to Quick Launch.

Hope this helps

Great post Dwarf. I am relatively new to Vista and I was not aware of the snipping tool.

For those who don't want to have Tablet PC running ( its 741mb ) just to use the Snipping Tool - try FaststoneCapture53. This is a powerful capture tool with image conversion, etc. ( only 1.4mb ) and it's free from

Re: How to use the Snipping Tool in Vista

Hi Ilya,

You need to have the Tablet PC service running to access the snipping tool.

You may have turned it off as it's a big program (731mb).
Try checking under Control Panel>Uninstall a program>Turn Windows Features on or off.

If you do not wish to have the Tablet PC program installed and running just to use the snipping tool, you could try Faststone Capture53 - it's free and in my opinion, better than the snipping tool - it's only 1.4mb.

FastStone Capture 5.3 - eSnips, share anything

Hope it helps
