Reading the latest Computer Shopper, one of the tips was using the Vista
snipping tool. The article says it is in the accessories folder on the
start menu. For the life of me, I can not see it. How do I make it show
up? TIA


For Vista users you can just type "Snipping Tool" in the search bar in the
windows menu. The first time you run it it will ask if you want to add it to
your quick launch bar. I selected yes keeping in mind it is always easier to
remove something from it than to add to it.
 
Copy it to your Desktop from QuickLaunch and then to Accessories
so its there if ever needed.

Check the thread of the exact same name that you started at 7pm using
the moniker "Meebers".

You will also have to have the "Tablet" feature installed to have the
snipping tool installed.

You can also use the windows key + a number, where the number corresponds to
the icon in the quick launch toolbar.
For example it the snip tool is the first icon, then Winkey + 1 will launch
the snipping tool.
