How to activate the 'Snip' tool?

The only way I've found to activate the snip tool is with the link on the
Windows Help and Support page. Obviously, there must be a better way. Don't
see it anywhere. Thanks for your help - IM

I sent a shortcut to my desktop and then dragged it to my Quick Launch area.

Click All Programs - Accessories - Snipping Tool. Also, you may Pin it to the Start menu by right-clicking and choosing the "Pin to Start Menu" option.

Richard - Where do you send the shortcut to the desktop from? Snip is not in
my accessories folder? Thanks, IM

Make a shortcut on your desktop, or add it to your start menu. The actual
file location is here: %SystemRoot%\system32\SnippingTool.exe

Check in (c):\Windows\System32 for SnippingTool.exe--drag it somewhere to
make a shortcut.
If it's not in Windows/System32, you may find it in
Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-tabletpc-snippingtool_31bf...............
You may need to unhide system files/folders in Explorer to see either.

Imageman,

Click Start, type "snippingtool" in the Search box, and press ENTER. Does it work? The file SnippingTool.exe is located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder.
