Windows 8 – Where’d My Snipping Tool Go?
One thing that has bothered users of Windows 8 is the seeming disappearance of the Snipping Tool, the handy little program that lets you grab screenshots. This was particularly bothersome to me, since I recently purchased a Surface Pro and the tiny little keyboard doesn't have a PrtScn key. The good news is that the Snipping Tool is still there, it just seems like Microsoft is trying to hide it from you. It's now buried within the Windows System32 file, but there's a really simple way to find it.

Windows 8: Quick & Easy Screenshots
Windows 8 includes a fantastic feature to take screenshots (images of what's on your screen) quickly and easily. Traditionally, to take a screenshot in Windows 7 and below, you would need to hit the PrtScn key, then open a photo program like Paint or Photoshop, and go to Edit > Paste (or Ctrl + V) and save the image.
