are you running a 64-bit operating system?

Yup yup, never had it to try with before.

try this

C:\Windows\Sysnative\snippingtool.exe

Brilliant! Thanks so much, been trying everything I could think of and nothing worked! Even gets the correct icon assigned! I so appreciate your answer and Liz for asking!

Wow...how does that work?

What the heck was that? Sysnative? Works great, but I never heard of it before. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Say it with karma. [e digicons]:karma:[/e] That's what it's for.

The snipping tool should have appeared in your start menu search just by typing sn.

If it didn't, there might be another problem.

Thats what I said when someone shared it with me.

We have the coolest community members!

Nexus handles it with no problem.

I wanted it right there, points at left-edge zoomer. Now it is. I couldn't figure out why if I had the name and path it couldn't be a shortcut on the dock. It takes magic words. I'm not sure that a link that only says SN in the box will work.

Mine is right there in the start menu. Always has been.

Don't want start menu. If you create a shortcut there it will work. If you create a normal shortcut on the task bar it will work. If you create a shortcut on the desktop it will work. If you create a shortcut on the dock (zoomer or tabbed) it will not work in normal link form - drive/folder/executable

I have my screen measure, color selector, text editors, graphics viewers, calculator, and now snipper on my left side dock. No opening windows, no opening menus, just one click. I have only six things ATM on my first page of my start menu, plus a few frequents that wander in. Snip usually lives on the second part of the start menu (programs)
