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 am out of idea.

    Perhaps you'll need to go the web and download the snipping tool for Win 7.

    What I meant was .... uncheck then recheck.

    Sounds weird, but humour me.

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