I realize that there is a different snipping tool than what came with windows 10 but I was wanting the older version at first. I have figured out the little changes in this version and I am fine with it, but I have a question.
I had found information for importing the older version into this new windows 11 computer and followed the steps to create a folder and
Copy the SnippingTool.exe file from c:\Windowsand\system 32 and paste the file into the new folder.
I also created another folder and name it en-US inside the SnippingTool parent folder. I then went to the c:\windows\system32\en-US and copied the SnippingTool.exe.mui file and paste the file into the new en-US subfolder I had created. I then put them on a flash drive and went back to this pc to move them to it.
I am not going to bother with that now, but if I were to do I just leave that new snippingtool folder somewhere on my computer or would I have moved the snipping tool.exe to the c:\windows\system32 folder on this new pc and then moved the .mui file into the en-US folder or move the entire new folder to a specific location on my new computer?
When I did try moving the snippingtool.exe.mui to the en-US folder on my windows 11 pc but got message stating that Destination Folder Access denied and that I need permission to perform that action. Since I am and administrator on this computer wouldn't I have access to all the folders on my pc? It really does not matter since I have figured out how to do the things that I need with this new snipping tool, but was just curious
This pc is Windows 11 PRO version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.5472)
