Visual 2012 List of Built in Snippets

Where can I find a List of Built in Snippets for Visual Studio 2012?

I guess to make myself more clear.

Like when typing prop(tab)(tab)

I would like to have a list of what is already built in so I do not try to build a snippet for something that is already built in.

The folder /Documents/Visual Studio 2012/Code Snippets/

Seems to me to be the place to put your own code snippets.

I would like to print out a cheat sheet of all of them. So like a PDF, Website, etc.

Built in snippents are in the folder
%InstallRootLocation%\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\%lang%\Snippets\1033

For example,
C# code snippets -> %InstallRootLocation%\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\vc#\Snippets\1033
C++ code snippets -> %InstallRootLocation%\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\vc\Snippets\1033

%%InstallLocation%% is usually %Program Files% on 32 bit, and %Program Files (x86)% on 64 bit systems but can be customized during VS installation process.

Custom snippets are in the folder

%Documents%\Visual Studio 2012\Code Snippets.
