How to add "Start Run snip" to bring up the screenshot SnippingTool in Windows 7,8, and 10
This is a hint for the tribal-knowledge archives on Windows screenshotting.
In the Windows 10 ng, we just found a way to get this to work just fine: Start Run snip to bring up a snipping tool for capturing & modifying screenshots in either Windows 10 or Windows 7 (and presumably Windows 8). Simply export the existing registry "App Paths" key for "SnippingTool.exe" and change /just/ the key name in the text *.reg file from "SnippingTool.exe" to "snip.exe" and then re-import that new key by doubleclicking on the *.reg file to create a new "App Paths" key. Everything is exactly the same between the two keys, except the key name. Original key name: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\SnippingTool.exe Additional key name: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\snip.exe Once you export the old key and import it as a new key, this then works: Start Run snip Of course, if you use the "search box" instead of the "Run box", then typing almost anything that starts with S or SN or SNI or SNIP will also work, so this hint is only about getting it to work in the Run box. |
