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.
so it doesn't come up when you type
snip
in the search field on the start menu?

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
