Snipping Tool Shortcut

Published on April 13, 2012 By LizMarr In ObjectDock

Has anyone got the Snipping Tool as a shortcut on OD (C:\Windows\system32\SnippingTool.exe)

I have drug it to the dock from the Start Menu, I have made it into a shortcut and then put it on the dock, I have built the shortcut on the dock itself (not drug it from anywhere) I have even gone through and given everyone and their grandmother rights to the program (it belonged to that famous dude "Trusted Installer") Here is my result:

And yes, the silly thing is totally gone until you have turned off find system files. But that is turned off too.

How do I tell it that it isn't hidden so that it will work from a dock? Move it out of the system32 folder perhaps?

This was pertaining to adding a Snipping Tool shortcut to ObjectDock.

Can't that be done like in Nexus? Apparently not as the path is read incorrectly... without the 'sysnative' - not sure why the path isn't read correctly, though.

OK, that is about as confusing to me as the code I am staring at... You do it an tell me how it works..

LizMarr... decided to scrap the screenie. Not sure why this method doesn't work but Neil probably does.

In Winstep, all i do is type in 'snipp' in the search (in the Winstep Start Menu) and a shortcut to the tool appears and can be dragged to the dock/subdock from the search box and it works...

If you'd like a screenie, I can take one... here:

In Nexus the path shows as: C:\Windows\system32\SnippingTool.exe which is right where I expect it to be.

Why I like Nexus, it just works.

I think this proves that Winstep does better than Windows interface! Good job! Not sure I'm ready to switch from what I got... I tried Rainmeter once and it slowed my computer way down.
