Vista Snipping Tool - accidentally deleted from the computer. How can this be restored?

I accidentally deleted the tool cutting on my windows vista computer.  I sent the tool cutting on the desk and I should have created a shortcut on the desktop. I thought I was remove a shortcut and not the actual tool. I looked on the computer of the tool, but it seems to have disappeared completely.  I can't run system restore because it was some time before I realized my mistake and you do not have a date for the restoration. Searched in the downloads of Microsoft but only capture tool is for tablets.  Please help as I really like this tool

Hi GailWilton,

If you open your Windows Explorer program, go to the C:\windows\System32 folder, you see the file Snippingtool.exe?

If so, you should be able to right click and do a sortcut to your desktop or add a shortcut to the Quick Launch bar

Otherwise, you can try the following steps and check.

Step 1:

Try refreshing the Snipping Tool installation. This tool is part of the Tablet PC optional components in Windows Vista.

a. open Control Panel, click Classic view in the task pane.

b. double-click programs and features.

c. click on the 'activate Windows features and turn off' in the task pane.

This window may take a few minutes to display.

When the options appear in the list, scroll to the "Tablet PC Optional Components" and remove the check mark for this element.

d. click OK, leave everything and restart the computer.

Once the computer restarts, go back to control panel and repeat the same procedure.

This time the check box adds the "Tablet PC Optional Components".

This will install these components in the system with a new copy of all the files.

Step 2:

You also, try to run a SFC scan to check all corrupted files.

You can read the following article to launch the SFC scan:
