Auto-snip with snipping tool Windows 8
I used a simple AutoHotkey script to emulate what the Windows 7 version did.
#s::
Run, "C:\windows\system32\SnippingTool.exe"
WinWaitActive, ahk_class Microsoft-Windows-Tablet-SnipperToolbar
{
send ^{PrintScreen}
}
return
Note #s
(Win + s) shortcut can be anything you choose. Like all AHK scripts you want running all the time, add it to the startup folder.
This was changed in Windows 8:
MSFT answered it here on channel9:
Defrag: Deprecated HW, Deleted Partition, Disabling Right Click Animation http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/The-Defrag-Show/Defrag-Deprecated-HW-Deleted-Partition-Disabling-Right-Click-Animation
13:50- Is there a way to make Snipping Tool in Win8 active on launch.
MSFT says it was changed on customers feedback.
