Vista Snipping tool
I just did a System Recovery on my Vista desktop and the Snipping Tool is
not there now. I can't seem to find a place to download it from. How can I replace it as I use it quite a bit. TIA --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast! Antivirus protection is active. http://www.avast.com |

Thanks for the reply but there is no windows32 under C: Windows in Home Premium. There's a System32 but no Snipping tool under that. Turning on Windows Features/Tablet PC OptionalComponents brought it up as per another posters advice. I still don't know where the exe for it hides. Agent Ransack only finds the shortcuts and it's the best search software I've ever used. -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

Try this: Open up Windows Explorer and select Organize on the menu bar. Click Folder and search options, then the View tab. Uncheck Hide operating system files. TO be safe, also select Show hidden files, folders, and drives. Note a couple of things. 1. I am not "K." Bloch, as in your other post. 2. The directory is not C: Windows, it is C:\Windows, and you are looking for C:\Windows\windows32. -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) |

Here's a handy trick. If you know the name of the file, highlight anything in the file pane (just to be sure it has the focus) and type the first letter or two of the name. If you type the first letter and wait a second or two, type it again to get the next file or folder starting with that name. That's especially convenient when the files are sorted in some strange order (just a joking way to imply non-alphabetic). -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) |
