    Hey guys, I was browsing the show off your desktop thread and I felt tempted to take a snip of my desktop. I was pretty excited since this will be the first time I use snipping tools and my desktop looks awesome so i could wait to share. So i go to search -> snipping tools, returns no results, run -> snipping tools, returns nuthing, all programs -> accessories returns nuthing?

    Do i just have a ****ed up version of Vistas?
    Any know where to download it?

    Do you have it turned on in Programs and Features>Windows Features>Tablet PC Optional Features?

    It should be listed under Accessories in the Start menu.

    Hi.

    If i search for "snipping tools", I get nothing

    But if i just search for "snipping" it gets found, I suppose you have tried this!

    Regards

    John.
