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.
Windows 7 Snipping Tool has disappeared
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!

Sounds weird, but humour me.

I did that too. I even unchecked it, saved the settings, restarted, checked it, and restarted. No luck

I do not have Win 7, but....
In Vista, Snipping Tool can be found in Tablet PC Optional. No reason to exect any different in Win7.
Go to Programs and Features > left column, Turn Windows Features on or off > check it again Tablet PC Optionals > OK
