Location of the program "Snipping Tool"

Have lost the desktop icon for "Capture tool" and can not be found under programs.  Where is it located?

It is usually in:

%SystemRoot%\System32

More commonly known as

C:\Windows\System32

In Windows 7, you can find articles like this by clicking Start (or tapping the Windows key) and type all or part of the name, then looking at the dynamic list above the real element. Right click on the list entry will allow you to Open the location of the file.

  • find the location of the program database file

    I'm having the same problem. I tried the approach of a file 'save data' and appearing in the file of users/app data.

    There are 2 problems with this: 1) application data file does not appear in the Explorer for me to access, even if I know it is exisits and 2) I'm trying to transfer a backup file, and the program is very specifically looking for a c:\programdata\... etc.

    Where can I find the program data file?

    Thank you

    Hi Joan,

    Application data are not a real record, it is a crossroads which is only there for backward compatibility. A crossroads is a shortcut that redirects the programs and files to another location, and for the most part hidden.

    This particular junction points to the C:Users\username\AppData\Roaming folder.

    Also the steps suggested by Dave 9 from this link.

  • No option to change the installation location of the program

    Hello

    I have problems with my laptop running Vista Basic.

    Whenever I try to install a new program, it automatically starts the installation on drive C.  There is no opportunity to change the installation location.  It must now to the point where drive C is almost full yet D drive is almost empty.

    Is it possible I can get Vista to start giving me the option to choose where I would like the installation to occur or may simply change the default location?  I don't have a problem with the deletion of all programs that are running on my laptop that I have all the disks necessary to reinstall, I just can't continue as things are.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Andy

    If you get a choice of the place where the software is the responsibility of the installer, no windows.  I would say it's time to start looking in an upgrade of the hard drive if you are running this short space.

  • Change the location of the program download

    Downloading software to a disk, such as the printer software I don't get the option to select the location. So my SSD drive is almost full, as all scanned documents, etc. are stored here, but my much larger conventional hard drive is almost empty. There must be a way to manually select the location before my machine becomes unusable. I use Windows 7 Professional. Can anyone help

  • I would like to change the location of the down side tool bar.

    I accidentally moved my toolbar on the side and now I want to put it back at the bottom of the screen

    You say "toolbar", but I assume you mean that the bar of the tasks .

    Although by default, the taskbar is displayed on the bottom of the screen,
    It can be on any of the sides on what you prefer. To move any
    side to side, simply click an unused portion and drag
    where you want it. Don't forget to click inside it, not on the edge.
    by clicking on the edge and dragging will resize not move.

    If it does not move, it can be locked. In this case, right click on it
    and uncheck "Lock the taskbar", then try again.

    Moreover, with the screen monitors wide today, I prefer the taskbar
    on the left or the right of the screen. I think that allows a better
    use of real estate than have it at the bottom of screen.

  • Delete snipping tool buttons on the taskbar - Ribbon box

    I deleted the program cutting tool and the stupid buttons appear still straddling him minimize fullscreen and close buttons.  How can I get rid of the screen capture, capture of the region and capture window buttons.  The displayed icons was not available as an option to choose from the menu options for the tool, so I deleted the program and that they don't always go away.  (Yes, I rebooted the computer)

    I don't know what your talking about when you say that the taskbar - Ribbon area (Snipping tool does not have these features). Malware?

    If you really want to get rid of the cutting tool you must enable disable group policy rule.

    (Group policy is not available in Win7Home)

    1. Start, type gpedit.mscand press enter to open the local Group Policy Editor.

    2. navigate to Computer - Configuration>Administrative Templates ->Windows - components>Tablet PC ->Accessories-> double click cannot capture tool run .

    3. Select enabled, click OK.

    (Above: change the 'no' to yes)

    After completing the above, restart.

  • You can add a printer the Snipping Tool send to option?

    I would like to add a printer to the Sendto Snipping Tool. Now what is available is email but there are moments where I would send the capture directly to a printer. It is probably a registry setting, but I was not able to find it. Someone at - he had luck adding a printer to the Sendto Snipping Tool?

  • What happened to Snipping Tool?

    HP Pavilion Slimline s5213w running under Windows 7 64-bit

    1. earlier today, I ran Snipping Tool for the first time: START-online snip => enter; Select the tool-online entry. It worked fine and I did a snip and saved. A few minutes later I tried again and this time instead of "Tool captures" all I could get was "saving steps to reproduce a problem. How can I get that back?

    2. According to the AskLeo cutting tool should be available under the menu START-accessories online, but he's not here.

    I can still get to the tool, but not in the menu START. In addition, support allows access to the Snipping Tool and it explains how to use but it says Nothing about how to access outside assistance.

    Hello

    Step 1: Make sure the executable Snipping Tool is always present on your system (and has not been removed by a virus)

    The executable file must be located in C:\Windows\System32\SnippingTool.exe

    Step 2: To start, you have different options:

    -Double-click on the executable file located in "C:\Windows\System32\.

    OR - Press Win + R, then type "snippingtool" (without the quotes) and validate

    OR - right-click on the executable and select "pin to taskbar" or "pin to start menu", to create shortcuts to these places

    OR - right-click on the executable and select "create shortcut" and then move the shortcut to the place you want.

  • Windows cannot find the program to open the exe file

    I did the windows repair option by restarting then pressed f8 to get to come repair options. I did it to try to remove a number of problems of virus on my laptop. It seems that it has solved the problem, but now when I try to access one of my desktop icon shortcuts it indicates that windows cannot find the program to open the exe file. She does it with every shortcut. I can access the location of the program and then select open with and it will be opened in this way, but there is not and I have to select each time. Another option that works is a right-click on the icon and selecting 'start' and who will run the program properly. Other than simply double-click the icons automatically no longer works since I did this repair.

    I use PSE 10 and trying to insert a circular form, I can add an image in various locations. The custom shape tool includes a circle that would be ideal for this purpose, except that I can't find a way to make the line thicker.

    Is it possible to do this please?

    Thanks for your help, John

    You can use a contour layer Style to go around 'thick '.

    Go in layer > layer Style > Style settings and check the stroke

    You can adjust the size at any time by double-clicking the fx on the thumbnail of the layer to bring up the Style settings.

  • How can I remove a program is located in administrative tools: Services? I uninstalled the program, but it still appears in 'Services '.

    In order to install a new version of the Anti trend anti-virus software, I have to make sure that another program is completely uninstalled.  The trend stops when if is the program still in 'services.  How can I remove it?

    Out of curiosity, what would the other program that does not properly uninstall?

    If it were other software AV (McAfee, Norton, Symantec, NOD32, Avira, Avast, etc.), many of them require their own special to make them correctly and completely uninstalled uninstall tool/program.  If you do not uninstall program, you will end up with pieces of the old program left on your system.  Just by using Add/Remove programs no longer cuts on some of these things.  These uninstaller programs are generally on the Support page for the AV program, you need to uninstall.
