Does anyone know if there is a shortcut to open the snipping tool? Like the shortcut - Windows+S on OneNote 2007 for a screen capture if you've ever used it.

Why not just pin it to your taskbar and one click, if you have it set to one-click, it's activated.

Both of your posts together gave me a good answer: pin it to the taskbar and then just use windows+# to open it, good thinking guys! :)

Because when you close it you have a lone icon sitting in the middle of your taskbar items.


I agree....don't pin and save an icon from a lifetime of being alone :cry:

Nope it's a stupid idea.

They should just enhance the previous Quick Launch. To do all those special things that pinned programs do now.

Yeah, eh, I guess. That happens with different pinned items, so they haven't perfected the stupid taskbar, doesn't mean it sucks to pin items to the taskbar. I guess it's all in how you look at it. Doesn't really bother me, I'll just slide it back real quick. I suppose it would bother some.

Pinning an item to the taskbar is the same thing as having a quicklaunch bar except it doesn't suck and get stuck where you don't want it.

Just like Vista, you can assign KB shortcuts to apps.

I currently have CTRL + ALT + Z assigned to Snipping tool - I have been doing this for literally years, since I first found out I could *successfully* do this with shortcuts.
