How to Download The Snipping Tool for Windows 7

The full path to the Snipping Tool is %windir%\system32\SnippingTool.exe

%windir% typically is C:\Windows

In a default installation of Windows 7, it's very difficult to delete, move, or rename snippingtool.exe  If you try, you'll see this:

It's built in.  If you cannot find it:

1. Click the start button (bottom left)
2. Type snip into the text box that pops up
3. Click on Snipping tool in the list that pops up.

I have the same problem.  In that i have inherited a Windows 7 laptop, and it does not have the snipping tool, or at least it doesn't load when i try the actions like entering 'snip' or snipping tool' in the search bar.
