Windows 7 – Auto Run Snipping Tool with AutoHotKey

I am trying to get Windows 7 sniping tool to run when I hit my PRINTSCREEN keyboard button with AUTOHOTKEY.

I have been unsuccessful so far though. Here is what I have for the AutoHotKey script.

I have tried this

PRINTSCREEN::Run, c:\windows\system32\SnippingTool.exe

and this

PRINTSCREEN::Run, SnippingTool.exe

and this

PRINTSCREEN::Run, SnippingTool

And all those give me an error that basically says it cannot find the file, however the file path seems to be correct, I can copy paste it into a window and it opens the snipping tool, any ideas why it will not work?

Here is the full code to my AHK file…
