Wonderful, Mark, if you had told poor Drew how to find it.
Drew, I just discovered the tool by doing a search for "snipping" in the
start menu. I got a popup box that asked me if I wanted to add the snipping
tool to the quick start menu. I said yes, and it was added there. Haven't
played around with it yet.
If you don't see it on the quick start menu, click on the double >> at the
right to find it. If you don't have the quick start menu enabled, right
click on an empty space on the bar at the bottom of your screen and put the
mouse over "Toolbars." Then go to Quick Launch and check it -- put a
checkmark beside it.
There are probably other ways to access the snipping tool, but this was the
first thing I came across.
