Vista - Snipping tool

hello my Snipping tool is no longer on the startup menu.
can someone please tell me where i can find it orhow to get it back ?
thanks scrooge

can you not just type it into the search bar....?

It's not listed under Start/All Programs/Accessories?

Try this:

Control Panel/Programs/Programs and Features. In the Task List, select Turn Windows
features on or off.
Scroll down and place a check mark in the "Tablet PC optional components"
option. Apply/OK.

tryed to type it in and it didn't find it. also the
check mark is already in the "Tablet PC optional components.
not sure what happen cause i just used it the other day .
thanks for your help

Well if you want to get a shortcut to it. It's situated in C:\Windows\System32\SnippingTool.exe

(Assuming your Vista drive is C:, if not alter accordingly).

If it's missing from there then your Vista is corrupted somehow. Have you been using Registry cleaners?

this is where the ''snipping tool'' is located on my machine


im not sure if this can be downloaded as a standalone package

ok thank you .
i found it and got it working and yes i have used a Registry cleaner
and i think thats causing all the problms with my system .
cause 1 time i click on a drive and the icon's are set right and the next time the icon's are xlarge. also i'm not sure about this if the Registry cleaner could have done something but now when i boot up my system i see this ( <cpuid :00010676 patch id:060c> ) on the screen and i don't recall seeing it before yesterday. i'm going to reinstall the system but i'm waiting for my other motherboard to come back from the shop so i don't have to keep reactivating the software.anyway thank's again for your help .

If possible reverse the registry cleaner's actions, or try your System Restore, but my advice is never, ever, use registry cleaners. They often cause more harm than good.

ok
thanks again for your help..
