| 759952 | 2009-03-27 02:38:00 | I have Vista home premium SP1 and have used the sniptool. Noticed the shortcut icon has changed to the first one on the icons list. The shortcut target says "%SystemRoot%\system32\SnippingTool.exe" but can't click on anything else. The only reference in the drive is to the sniptool icon which says 269kb .exe program ( doesn't open ) in "windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-tabletpc-snippingtool_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6001.18000_none_ cfb2f7da0cc08338" I have the Vista disk, is it poss to reinstall sniptool from that. Any help thanks. |

| 759954 | 2009-03-27 07:32:00 | First turn it off ( yeah sounds silly but its not) Click on Vista Start button, and go to Control Panel. Click on Programs link. (Programs and features if in classic mode) Click on Turn Windows features on or off link. If User Account Control pops up for confirmation, click on Continue button. Scroll down the list of features in Windows Features dialog window, UNtick the check box for Tablet-PC Optional Components It will take several minutes, once rebooted, do the exact same, but this time put the tick back. reboot and the snipping tool should have reinstalled. |

| 759955 | 2009-03-27 20:06:00 | Yes thanks already done. I did some research and found that it is part of the tablet PC which I had disabled after reading the "How to-12 Vista features". Probibly needs a note on that about the snipping tool. | cee60 (14757) | ||
| 759956 | 2009-03-27 21:04:00 | yep - Not many people know that the snipping tool is part of Tablet-PC Optional Components - I only found that out a couple of weeks ago when a customer had the same problem. Her son decided to "speedup the laptop" by disabling many things and not knowing what he was doing. |

| 759957 | 2009-03-28 07:21:00 | Thanks, wt, for showing me where the snipping tool was 'hidden'! I won't use it much but it looks a good one. | linw (53) | ||
| 759958 | 2009-03-28 07:32:00 | No worries - To me it seemed an odd place to put such a tool, and hide it - But we are talking Microsoft here I suppose. :rolleyes: | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 759959 | 2009-03-28 08:25:00 | That is a useful peice of knowledge. Weird Place to put it. Thanks WT:) |
