Program access[edit]

How do I access the program? Il Studioso 04:55, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's supposed to be in Start->Accessories->Selection Tool but doesn't seem to be in all versions of Vista. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.100.172.118 (talk) 11:06, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I tried searching for snip as follows...

Click the round Windows flag (lower-left corner of screen, on the task bar)
- The Start Search box appears
Type "snip"
- About 6 inches higher up, under "Programs", the Snipping Tool appears (scissor icon)

Hope this helps. And if so, I wonder if it's okay to put Wikipedia:Useful information in the article (someone had recently told me that WP articles are supposed to cover all aspects of the topic, not necessarily to be useful to the readers. [1] ) --Uncle Ed (talk) 14:01, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative software[edit]

Is this really needed? In it's current form it seems more like an advertisement. It only lists two alternative programs. Also, the article already links to a Wikipedia category for screenshot software (at the bottom). --24.182.161.101 (talk) 19:02, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Broken reference[edit]

The first reference link, http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/snipping-tool, is (effectively) broken. --Mortense (talk) 19:49, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Snipping Tool → Snip & Sketch – This is the new name of the app, most of the functionality is the same, there is just more options when using the screenshot shortcut ⊞ Win+⇧ Shift+S. And yes the original app "Snipping Tool" still exists on newer versions of Windows. Awesome Aasim 05:17, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Too soon: Hello. I do agree with everything you wrote in your message body; indeed, Windows Media Player is an example of a Windows component of which Windows releases sometimes included multiple versions. But before someone carries out the proposed rename, the content of the article needs to change. It's whacky to have an article titled something while its content talk about something else. flowing dreams (talk page) 13:57, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

delay[edit]

Without the delay feature it would not be possible to take a screenshot showing context menus and object handles because these disappear when any other item (such as the Snipping Tool itself) is clicked on. is inaccurate. You can open the snipping tool and then take screenshots of things by hovering your mouse where you want and pressing ctrl+prtscn. 172.101.5.82 (talk) 21:08, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge from Snip & Sketch[edit]

Recent Windows 11 builds (22000.132) have introduced an updated version of a Snip & Sketch app which is now called Snipping Tool, while the old tool has been fully removed. It would make sense to me that articles on the two tools should therefore be merged, considering they are both built-in Windows features that serve the same purpose and both are now called the same. --Raito wa Kira desu (talk) 08:24, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Approve: Agree as per above Nathanielcwm (talk) 02:31, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Approve: Since the old Snipping Tool is being completely phased out with Snip & Sketch being rebranded to just "Snipping Tool", and to avoid having to make a "Snipping Tool (Windows 11)" article, we should go ahead with this. --Zenphia (talk) 16:58, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Removed Microsoft Word from Screenshot category[edit]
