Answers

1.

Correct Answers = A, B, and E

Answers A, B, and E are all benefits that can be achieved when you convert to FAT32. File level security is a feature of NTFS (Net Technology File System), which is available only with Windows NT and Windows 2000. Choice D is incorrect because smaller 4K clusters will allow you to gain more storage space.

2.

Correct Answer = A

The Windows 95 OEM installation CD is not bootable. If you plan on using this CD-ROM with a hard drive that is not bootable (in this case blank), then you will need a bootable floppy disk with supporting CD-ROM device drivers installed to successfully install this Windows version.

3.

Correct Answer = C

Windows 95 release A does not support FAT32. It does utilize COMMAND.COM, comes with a Defragmenter utility, and provides support for FAT16.

4.

Correct Answer = B

Windows NT cannot be upgraded to Windows 98. Choice D is out of the question. Although the transition from Windows NT to Windows 2000 Professional is fairly straightforward, upgrading from Windows 95 to Windows 98 is considered the easiest upgrade path.

5.

Correct Answers = C and D

Using the Windows 9x Device Manager and Control Panel options to change settings and devices is considered the safest ways for common users to make edits to the Registry. Common users should not have the ability to make direct edits to the Registry using REGEDT32 or REGEDIT.

6.

Correct Answer = B

The Windows 9x Registry, as well as the Registries implemented in Windows NT and Windows 2000, are hierarchal databases made up of special Registry keys that hold most of the operating system’s software, hardware, and application settings.

7.

Correct Answer = A

Windows 95A provides support for only up to 2GB partitions on a hard drive. If you wish to utilize partitions greater than 2GB, you should install Windows 95B or Windows 98.

8.

Correct Answer = C

When you empty the Recycle Bin, only the entries in the file allocation table are removed. This gives you the ability to recover these files using third-party recovery tools.

9.

Correct Answers = A and C

Answers A and C are valid paths to renaming a printer in Windows 9x. Choices B and C are invalid options.

10.

Correct Answer = A

The Shift key is often used at boot-up to bypass applications that start automatically. Reinstalling Windows will help you get into Windows; however, it is not the logical choice here. Choices C, D, and E are invalid selections that will not accomplish the goal of getting into Windows.
