    Well, today I tried to use the snipping tool and it won't work. Here
    is the path for the shortcut if it helps any



    C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-tabletpc-snippingtool_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_none_299ad161c832e39a\SnippingTool.exe

    All it finds is the shortcut, and the icon has changed to the default
    icon for exe files, no longer the little scissors icon

    RE: Snipping tool gone!!!

    I know that, at least in XP, if you use the option in Disk Cleanup to remove
    useless programs, it will sometimes delete things without doing a great job
    of giving you the list; I lost Messenger that way and had to go download it
    again. So if you did something like that, you may be able to recover it
    using the Vista CD. I'm not sure if it's the same in Vista (like I said, I
    had this happen in XP), but I hope this helps.

    Reinstall Vista over the existing installation or trying doing a System
    Restore before you started seeing this problem.
