I'm running W7 64bit and when I run a system internal scan SBSD says I have two applications that are registered with windows but could not be found at the given locations :%ProgramFiles%\DVD Maker\dvdmaker.exe & system32\snipping tool.exe, bot when I execute a fix there just recreated, whats a fix?
Both are normally part of windows and it would be unusual for either file to be removed unless you knowingly did it yourself before:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows7/products/features/snipping-tool
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_DVD_Maker
This was posted a couple years back:

So,you ought to go to the locations listed manually(without using Spybot to see them) and see if the files are there,just in case.
You'd go to your main drive(might be C:\),Windows,System32,and see if snipping tool.exe is there.
Same for the other one.Go to C:\Program Files\DVD Maker and see if dvdmaker.exe is there.

Thank you for the reply Zenobia, I did vaguely recall seeing something about the entry's some while back but didn't recall if this could or should be safely ignored or not. ;)
