title: How to start Snipping Tool from PowerShell?
body: <p>I am trying to use the Snipping Tool from the command line. 
  I can run it from the Run box, but despite how much I try and different ways to do it I cannot open up the Snipping Tool on Windows 7 from PowerShell. I am sick of having to use the mouse to open up the Snipping Tool.</p>
  
  <p>Start process:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[System.Diagnostics.Process]::Start("C:\Windows\system32\SnippingTool.exe")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Call operator:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&amp; "C:\Windows\system32\SnippingTool.exe"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Dot-sourcing:</p>
  
  <pre><code>. C:\Windows\system32\SnippingTool.exe
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Using <code>Inovke-Item</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ii "C:\Windows\system32\SnippingTool.exe"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Change to the directory:</p>
  
  <pre><code>PS C:\Windows\system32&gt; ./SnippingTool.exe
  </code></pre>
