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?
are you running a 64-bit operating system?
Yup yup, never had it to try with before.
try this
C:\Windows\Sysnative\snippingtool.exe
Brilliant! Thanks so much, been trying everything I could think of and nothing worked! Even gets the correct icon assigned! I so appreciate your answer and Liz for asking!
Wow...how does that work?
What the heck was that? Sysnative? Works great, but I never heard of it before. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Say it with karma. [e digicons]:karma:[/e] That's what it's for.
The snipping tool should have appeared in your start menu search just by typing sn.
If it didn't, there might be another problem.
Thats what I said when someone shared it with me.
We have the coolest community members!
Nexus handles it with no problem.
I wanted it right there, points at left-edge zoomer. Now it is. I couldn't figure out why if I had the name and path it couldn't be a shortcut on the dock. It takes magic words. I'm not sure that a link that only says SN in the box will work.
Mine is right there in the start menu. Always has been.
Don't want start menu. If you create a shortcut there it will work. If you create a normal shortcut on the task bar it will work. If you create a shortcut on the desktop it will work. If you create a shortcut on the dock (zoomer or tabbed) it will not work in normal link form - drive/folder/executable
I have my screen measure, color selector, text editors, graphics viewers, calculator, and now snipper on my left side dock. No opening windows, no opening menus, just one click. I have only six things ATM on my first page of my start menu, plus a few frequents that wander in. Snip usually lives on the second part of the start menu (programs)
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.
