SnippingTool on ObjectDock?

By Skiny Posted May 20, 2008 18:52:03

Does anyone know how to put the SnippingTool.exe on Windows Vista onto the ObjectDock?

I did it once a few months back.

When I try to do it now, it won't work. The icon appears on ObjectDock, but the program won't run.

Anyone?

Here's the link address:%SystemRoot%\system32\SnippingTool.exe

I tried that, but when I click the new shortcut, it says:

"Windows cannot find 'C:\Windows\System32\SnippingTool.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.

Strange because the file is there.

I have object dock plus and it works for me. Did you update object dock with stardock central? maybe it will work after

don't enter C:\Windows... start with %SystemRoot%... it should work.

Nope doesn't work.

I can't u nderstand it :s

I'm using the free version of ObjectDock.

I run vista, and I've found the best way to add something like that is to pin it to your start menu, then just "drag and drop" it where you want it in your dock. It works, and when I open dock entry properties, the link shows up as, C:\Windows\System32\SnippingTool.exe if that helps at all.

I've tried that and end up with the same error message.

I can't understand it :s

I'm also using Vista 64 bit if that makes a difference?

For what it's worth, I've noticed that on my Laptop (Vista Business-32), the Snipping tool works fine from the dock. On my desktop (Vista Ultimate-64) the Snipping tool will not work from the dock.

I dunno why...

I'll bet it has to do with those extra 32 bits.
