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.

    Thank you for the information, but I finally got it back. I had to do the step that you described, I had played around on my computer until I got it back, but the problem is I can not remember how I got it. Oh! I think that I had to go one step further by making sure that I was the administrator of the program.
