Snipping Tool In The Search Bar In The Windows Menu
Jun 6, 2008Reading 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?
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.
Snipping Tool
Mar 25, 2008I have a new PC running Vista Home Premium. I tried the snipping tool soonafter I received the computer three weeks ago. It appeared to work fine atthat time. I just tried to use it again but could not find the shortcut. Ithad been in the start menu under accessories but it was no longer there.
Using the Search facilities I found the program file "Snipping Tool.exe" onmy hard drive. I created a new shortcut but the program will not start,nothing happens. I also tried double clicking on the "Snipping Tool.exe"file.

View 6 Replies View RelatedSnipping Tool: Click The Icon, Nothing Happens
Aug 22, 2009I have Vista 64-bit SP2. The Snipping Tool was running and looked nice to have. But after that first run where I was checking it out, it never ran again. If I click the icon, nothing happens. I watched the task list in Task Manager. That ever so briefly lists a new task before it vanishes. I also tried running the tool as an administrator. That had the same results.

View 4 Replies View RelatedSnipping Tool/Sticky Notes Cannot Start
Mar 23, 2008I just noticed today that when I try to run the Snipping Tool, I get this
error:
THE SNIPPING TOOL IS NOT WORKING ON YOUR COMPUTER RIGHT NOW. RESTART YOUR COMPUTER, AND THEN TRY AGAIN. IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, CONTACT YOUR SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR.
I've been running Vista Ultimate for about a year now, and installed SP1 this week.
Restarting doesn't fix, I've also tried adding/removing the TABLET PC OPTIONAL COMPONENTS in the Windows Features On/Off control panel. This doesn't help. I even went to the extreme of uninstalling SP1 to no avail.
I also notice that I get the same error as above with Sticky Notes:
Sticky Notes IS NOT WORKING ON YOUR COMPUTER RIGHT NOW. RESTART YOUR COMPUTER, AND THEN TRY AGAIN. IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, CONTACT YOUR SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR.(80004005)
And Windows Journal too!
WINDOWS JOURNAL CANNOT START. THERE WAS AN ERROR INITIALIZING INKING
COMPONENTS.
The ONLY function in the Tablet PC that works is Tablet PC Input Panel. Well it runs, but neither of the TOOLS or HELP pull down menus work.
I've seen others with the same Snipping Tool error while searching google, but never found a fix. For some people they had to reinstal the whole OS, but even then the errors came back after a while.

Nov 22, 2009I have been searching for a way to get my Snipping tool back in my vistax64 system. It started with the common errors saying there is a problem and to restart and so on. I installed a Wacom Bamboo tablet on a Vista x86 laptop and a x64 Desktop both SP2. The laptop has had no issues and the x64 desktop ran the snipper fine for months afterwords but eventually lost the tool's functionality. So do not blame the Wacom in my case. I say this because I have read elsewhere it was a suspect cause.
After reading about some folks doing an Office 2007 Office diagnostics from the Outlook Help menu I tried it and it worked but there is a different behaivor. I have dual displays and before it went bad it would open up in one display but now it opens the selection area across both displays. That's OK with me, I just wanted to report.
Snipping Tool Disappear Start Program
Apr 20, 2009I had my Snipping tool disappear from start/programs list AND short cut from quick links. An index search tool could not find it either. The popular solution of enabling from the 'add/remove programs windows function' in control panel did not help. Everyone and there brother told me this would solve my problem. I still could not locate the SnippingTool.exe file. I went to c:/windows/systems32/ and found SnippingTool.exe in the system32 folder and right click to create a desktop icon shortcut. bing...back in action. I still have no idea why my shortcuts and programs list from start menu would have disappeared, but at least if this happens again, I'll know what to do.
View 0 Replies View RelatedSnipping Tool Turned Generic Icons Doe Not Work
Feb 18, 2009I don't know what happened here, but my shortcut that points to the snipping tool turned into one of those generic icons - and it says that it can't find C:WindowsSystem32SnippingTool.exe. Sure enough, a check of System32 shows it's not there. I didn't go in there. so I have no idea what happened here. It's not in the recycle bin either, so it didn't get accidentally deleted, at least not recently. So, is it as simple as grabbing a copy of SnippingTool.exe from another installation and pasting it into System32? Any risk in this (aside from it not working if there were some dependencies that are also gone?) If that doesn't work does sfc restore this?

Apr 5, 2008I may not understand how Windows Explorer's Search (W/E Search) is supposed to work. I know how the Find in the DOS Window works, so let me start with an example using FIND. My expectation that both have similar capabilities is perhaps misplaced. In the "search for content" thread below I describe the steps I took to make sure the .DAT extension is in the index control panel, and re-indexed several times to insure that .DAT files are in the index.
I have a folder named TPL which I think has been indexed. It has about 5000 text files in it most of which happen to have the extension .DAT, and several other text files, some of which have the extensions .INC and .TXT. I know some of the files have the phrase GRID in them, some multiple times. I go to the folder I want in DOS, and get to the point where the cursor is:............
Search Can't Find A File?
Jun 9, 2009I have a file in my appdata folder that I'd like to check and see if duplicates exist in other (sub) folders.

Search: Vista Doesn't Find And Extremely Slow?

Windows Desktop Search 4.0: How To Find Music By Duration
Apr 23, 2009I read this tutorial many months ago to learn the secrets of this very powerful tool that Windows Desktop Search is compared to the old plain search in XP: Many people still ignore how sophisticated Window Desktop Search can be or worse they simply blame it and regret old search engine... go learn how to use it first! Today I discovered that it can actually be used to find also MP3s by duration (finally)! Let's say you want to search for all music >6 mins long... First enable natural language search, it's much easier: ...after this passage, you can type in this in the Start menu: music duration >3600000000 and you'll find all MP3s greater than 360 seconds (6 mins)! Isn't that simple? Don't ask my you have to add 7 zeroes after the seconds, but it works! Obviously you can do much more with the Advanced Query Syntax and this is just an example Hope this hint can be useful for others as it was for me... Tested on Vista SP1, x86, Italian, Windows Desktop Search 4.x installed
View 1 Replies View RelatedXP Style Slow Search, Unable To Find This Primitive Operation?
Mar 23, 2008I must be missing something obvious... How do I do an XP style search? You remember, right-click a folder, click "Search", and have Vista search the selected folder? I've been unable to find this primitive operation. I'm willing to give up search control to Vista for local drives, but indexing our entire network, and each and every USB stick/USB Hard drive seems, well, silly for the once or twice a month I need to search in those locations. I'm willing to wait the thirty seconds it takes to search, because I can normally limit the size of the search ("Let me look through the code tree for December", for example).
View 9 Replies View RelatedSearch Failing With Special/technical Searches Rather Than Simple Filename Search, 85% Of This OS Is Now Great
Jun 22, 2009except for a few grand issues like Search failing with special/technical searches rather than simple filename search, 85% of this OS is now great. I love it now. And can you guess how many processes show up in TaskManager? 26. ONLY TWENTY SIX. My IE8 starts up lightning fast and swings by all sites except videos, for certain sites w/FlashPlayer & Videos I enable CompatibilityView which aligns those older sites to IE8.
Applications startup as if they were already loaded into Memory, faster than in WinXP. Who knew? It feels like quad-core at 4GHz, seriously. Everything is momentary as if it were loaded from RAM This OS is still a failure, however, versus WinXP. Are you shocked to hear "failure" after my praises, do I contradict myself? No. Because most people are far from my tenacity and just by education, hobbies and profession I alway stune up things to perfection. My cheap car leaves far more expensive models wondering what rocket had just passed them on LIE Expressway. I enjoy tinkering with technology.
It took me 2 weeks (?) to tune up Vista beast to be a polished fast, bug-free beast. It's more convoluted than was tuning WindowsXP. I spent several days in Registry, GroupPolicies, SecPolicies, filesystem digging out and blatantly renaming & moving system files no one is supposed to touch.........

Jun 18, 2009I've got an apparently "broken" search installation. So that I can skip through the normal "click the folder you want to index" type of answers, it's way beyond that. Let me give some background first. This is a new installation of Vista x64 Ultimate on this machine. I just installed it a little over a week ago after I got a blue screen of death that wouldn't allow any type of system restore, etc on the prior install. My prior installation on that machine was a Vista Ultimate x32 bit. The prior installation had the OS on the C: drive and I had moved "My Documents" out of a Windows XP onto the D: drive (D:My DOcuments).
In that prior installation, I left all Music, Videos, documents etc. under the original layout and just pointed the Vista "music", "documents", etc folders to the sub folders. I had no problem indexing on my prior version. I have a Vista 64 bit Ultimate at work as well and IT has no problem indexing even under the default locations..........
