Question 1

Each Win32 application runs in its own virtual memory space and is executed by the processor in ____ mode.&#10;A) DOS&#10;B) user&#10;C) kernel&#10;D) Win32

Accepted Answer

Win32 applications run in user mode, where they have limited access to system resources and cannot directly manipulate hardware or interrupt system operations. The kernel mode is reserved for the operating system and device drivers, which have higher privileges and unrestricted access to the system. DOS mode is an outdated operating system that is no longer used in modern Windows systems. Win32 is a programming interface that provides a standard set of functions and protocols for developing Windows applications.

Question 2

The ____ hive contains global settings for the entire computer and the applications installed on it.&#10;A) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&#10;B) HKEY_CURRENT_USER&#10;C) HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT&#10;D) HKEY_USERS

Accepted Answer

The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive contains global settings and configuration information for the entire computer and all applications installed on it. It is accessible to all users on the computer.

Question 3

The registry is divided into sections and levels of data. Multiple sections exist to organize data by purpose. The individual sections are called ____.&#10;A) keys&#10;B) hives&#10;C) branches&#10;D) nests

Accepted Answer

The individual sections of the registry are called hives. Keys refer to specific data values within a hive, branches are sub-sections of a hive that contain keys, and nests is not a commonly used term in reference to the registry.

Question 4

The ____ provides a layer of abstraction that is useful for developers to perform complex tasks more simply because it manages the details of accessing required services.&#10;A) OS/2&#10;B) Win32&#10;C) .NET Framework&#10;D) POSIX

Accepted Answer

The .NET Framework provides a layer of abstraction that allows developers to interact with various services and components more easily. It manages details such as memory management, garbage collection, and security, freeing developers from having to worry about those details and allowing them to focus on writing code. OS/2, Win32, and POSIX are operating systems or application programming interfaces (APIs) that may provide some level of abstraction, but they are less comprehensive and more specifically focused on the underlying system.

Question 5

Applications designed to interact with the ____ subsystem are the most common type of application in use with earlier operating systems, such as Windows XP.&#10;A) Win32&#10;B) .NET Framework&#10;C) DOS&#10;D) Win16

Accepted Answer

Win32 is the most common subsystem used with earlier operating systems such as Windows XP. It provides a set of APIs for developing applications that interact with the Windows operating system. The .NET Framework is a newer technology and was not as prevalent during the time of Windows XP. DOS and Win16 are even older technologies that are not commonly used today.

Question 6

____ are made up of multiple modules, such as the core kernel, object manager, memory manager, and several others.&#10;A) Environment subsystems&#10;B) Executive Services&#10;C) Kernel services&#10;D) Hardware Services

Accepted Answer

Executive Services in an operating system are composed of multiple modules including the core kernel, object manager, memory manager, and others, which work together to manage system resources and operations.

Question 7

The ____ tool allows a user to connect to the active registry database and make changes that are effective immediately.&#10;A) EDITREG.EXE&#10;B) REGEDIT.EXE&#10;C) REGISTER.EXE&#10;D) CHGREG.EXE

Accepted Answer

REGEDIT.EXE is the tool that allows a user to connect to the active registry database and make changes that are effective immediately. A is not a valid option, C is not a tool, and D is not a valid option.

Question 8

Because the Executive Services are critical to the operation of the computer, applications are allowed to communicate directly with it.

Accepted Answer

Applications are not allowed to communicate directly with the Executive Services, as this would pose a security risk and make the system vulnerable to attack. Instead, applications interact with the operating system, which then manages the communication with the Executive Services.

Question 9

An application's view of the operating system is restricted to those methods and services exposed by the different ____.&#10;A) environment subsystems&#10;B) kernel services&#10;C) executive services&#10;D) environment services

Accepted Answer

Environment subsystems provide the interfaces and services that applications use to interact with the operating system.

Question 10

The environment subsystems and the applications run in ____ mode.&#10;A) kernel&#10;B) environment&#10;C) user&#10;D) service

Accepted Answer

Applications run in user mode, where they have limited access to system resources and must rely on the kernel to perform privileged operations. Running in user mode helps ensure the stability and security of the system, as it prevents applications from directly accessing and modifying critical resources.
