Answers

1.

Correct Answer = B

A cookie is a unique identifier that Web servers place in your system to identify you. Choices A and C are invalid. A UNC name is used to access a particular share on a particular workstation or server on a network.

2.

Correct Answer = D

Many Web servers use trusted cookies as their only form of authentication. This is a major security risk. Hijackers and attackers often create scripts and applets, which at times are able to circumvent network security parameters. They can be used to manipulate files on users’ computers.

3.

Correct Answer = B

Applets can be assigned various security levels, which include untrusted, high, medium, and low levels of security. Please refer to Table 27.1 for the various levels of unsigned applet security and their levels of restriction. All other choices are invalid.

4.

Correct Answers = A

Disk Defragmenter would be used if you were experiencing unusually long load times for programs (hard drive thrashing), while ScanDisk should be used if you think you may have errors on your hard drive.

5.

Correct Answer = B

The first option takes you to the system applet, which is where you’d go to set up a Hardware Profile, not a User Profile. DXDIAG actually brings up the DirectX diagnostic tool.

6.

Correct Answer = A

A version of XP installed on your machine won’t help you access a DOS prompt. Unfortunately, DOS cannot be added or removed from within Windows Me.

7.

Correct Answers = B and C

Both System Restore and Device Manager are set up and enabled after a Windows Me installation.

8.

Correct Answer = D

It is possible to connect to an NT domain server as long as the user accounts are created for every Windows Me user. System Restore still works fine, and no performance loss is present when you access networked resources.

9.

Correct Answer = C

In fact, these two missing-in-action files are the only noticeable difference between Windows Me start-up and other Windows 9x applications.

10.

Correct Answer = C

You must set up the subnet on the machine that is the server for Internet Connection Sharing when setting up a subnet.
