I just went to use my snipping tool and I can not find it anywhere. It was pinned to my desktop before. I can not find it in accessories, System32, or by searching. Any help would be appreciated!

You failed to mention that "Tablet PC Optional Components " need to be enabled in the "Turn Windows features on or off " dialog box (left column) of the "Programs and Features " control panel. Even if you DO NOT have a tablet PC, this option must be checked to enable the Snipping Tool. I lost the Snipping Tool when I turned off these features on my PC.
I have found the snipping tool at the following locationC:\Windows\System32\SnippingTool.exe and by right clicking on it I have now pinned it to the start menu
I can't get my snipping tool back in my start menu by clicking anywhere. I want it back. Now. For Free It was part of my Windows 7 and Vista.
Thank You - it was right were you said it was. Do not know why it just decided to play hide go seek. Been without it for months and trying to 'restore' it and w/o success. FINALLY - thank you again !!!
If you go in C:\Windows\System32 and search for Snipping Tool, you will find it.
You don't need in windows 7 to enable "Tablet pc components"
When you find it, right click and choose what you want: "Pin to taskbar", "Pin to start menu" or even you can send to desktop to create a shortcut.
Good luck!
Many thanks!
