Question 1

Information scanned into Windows Fax and Scan cannot be used by other applications due to the storage format of the scans.

Accepted Answer

The storage format used by Windows Fax and Scan (.tiff) is not compatible with many other applications, thus the information scanned into it cannot be used by those applications.

Question 2

____ was used to render screen drawings and print jobs in Windows XP.
A) XPS
B) DIV
C) GDI
D) WPF

Accepted Answer

GDI (Graphics Device Interface) was used in Windows XP to render screen drawings and print jobs. XPS (XML Paper Specification) was introduced later in Windows Vista and DIV is not a technology related to screen rendering or printing. WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) is a newer technology introduced in Windows Vista that can be used for screen rendering, but it is not the technology specifically used in Windows XP.

Question 3

The Windows 7 printing process is flexible to accommodate older applications and older printers that do not support XPS-based printing.

Accepted Answer

Windows 7 allows for backward compatibility with older applications and printers by offering various printing options, including support for non-XPS-based printing. This ensures that users can still print from older applications and printers that may not support the newer XPS print technology.

Question 4

____ minimizes all windows except the current window.
A) Shake
B) Snap
C) Windows Explorer
D) Peek

Accepted Answer

The Shake feature minimizes all windows except the current window when the user quickly drags the title bar back and forth. Snap is used to resize and arrange windows on the desktop, Windows Explorer is a file management tool, and Peek is used to preview the desktop by hovering over the "Show Desktop" button on the taskbar.

Question 5

In Windows 7, the ____ is updated each time a file is changed to ensure that search results are current.
A) search box
B) index
C) indexing service
D) file

Accepted Answer

The index is a database that contains information about the files and folders on your computer. It is updated regularly to ensure that search results are current. The search box and indexing service are both related to the indexing function, but they are not specifically updated each time a file is changed. A file itself does not have the ability to update the index.

Question 6

The Documents ____ displays the files stored in My Documents and Public Documents.
A) library
B) folder
C) file
D) explorer

Accepted Answer

The term "library" refers to a collection or group of items, which fits the description of the display of files stored in My Documents and Public Documents. The other choices, folder, file, and explorer, refer to specific items within the library and do not accurately describe the display as a whole.

Question 7

____ is a utility introduced in Windows Vista that is used to control scanning and faxing documents in Windows Vista and Windows 7.
A) Windows Printing
B) Windows Connectivity
C) Windows Fax and Scan
D) Windows Remote Office

Accepted Answer

Windows Fax and Scan is the utility introduced in Windows Vista that is used to control scanning and faxing documents in Windows Vista and Windows 7. The other options, Windows Printing, Windows Connectivity, and Windows Remote Office, do not have this functionality.

Question 8

XPS uses a subset of the commands available in ____ to render documents.
A) PDF
B) WPF
C) PS
D) PLC

Accepted Answer

XPS (XML Paper Specification) uses a subset of the commands available in WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) to render documents. WPF is a graphical subsystem by Microsoft for rendering user interfaces in Windows-based applications.

Question 9

When a new application designed for Windows Vista or Windows 7 prints, it uses ____-based printing.
A) PDF
B) PS
C) XPS
D) PCL

Accepted Answer

The question is asking for the type of printing used by new applications designed for Windows Vista or Windows 7. While all of the options listed are possible printing formats, only XPS (XML Paper Specification) is specific to these operating systems and is favored by Microsoft. Therefore, the best choice is C) XPS.

Question 10

Many printers can be configured to communicate directly with the network. If this feature is not built into your printer, it can be added by purchasing a ____.
A) router
B) switch
C) print firewall
D) print server

Accepted Answer

A print server is specifically designed to enable printer connectivity on a network, allowing for direct communication with multiple devices. Routers and switches are not typically designed for this specific functionality and a print firewall is not a common networking device.

Question 11

In addition to defining which locations are indexed, you can also define which file ____ are indexed and how those files are indexed.
A) libraries
B) folders
C) types
D) metadata

Accepted Answer

The term "file types" refers to the extensions or formats of the files that are included in the index. By specifying which file types are indexed, you can limit the amount of data that is indexed and therefore ensure that the search results are more relevant.

Question 12

In Windows 7, a search is ____ sensitive.
A) context
B) case
C) view
D) profile

Accepted Answer

In Windows 7, searches are context sensitive, meaning the search results can vary depending on the context in which the search is performed, such as in a specific folder or type of file.

Question 13

The most common reasons to use local printing are simplicity and security.

Accepted Answer

Local printing is typically simpler and more secure than printing over a network or the internet. This is because the print job remains within the physical boundaries of the local network and is not transmitted over potentially insecure connections. Additionally, local printing does not require any network configuration or setup, making it an easy and straightforward option.

Question 14

Drivers can be staged manually by a user with administrative rights using the ____ utility.
A) stage.exe
B) pnputil.exe
C) drvstor.exe
D) drvutil.exe

Accepted Answer

The pnputil.exe utility can be used to manually stage drivers on a Windows system. This utility allows a user with administrative rights to install a driver package by specifying the path to the INF file. The other options listed (stage.exe, drvstor.exe, drvutil.exe) are not actual utilities included with Windows.

Question 15

____ requires that a printer be connected directly to a Windows 7 computer by using a parallel cable or USB cable.
A) Local printing
B) Space printing
C) Network printing
D) Online printing

Accepted Answer

Local printing refers to printing where the printer is directly connected to the computer using a parallel cable or USB cable. Network printing involves printing to a printer that is connected to a network, and online printing typically involves using a web-based service to send documents to a remote printer for printing. Space printing is not a recognized term in the context of printing.

Question 16

____ allows you to begin using an application faster after printing by storing the print job as a file and sending the print job to the printer as a background process.
A) Spooling
B) Staging
C) XPS
D) PCL

Accepted Answer

Spooling (Simultaneous Peripheral Operations On-Line) is a technology that allows a computer to begin using an application faster after printing by storing the print job as a file and sending the print job to the printer as a background process. This helps improve printing speed and efficiency. Staging refers to the process of preparing data for transmission or processing, XPS (XML Paper Specification) is a file format used for printing and document storage, and PCL (Printer Command Language) is a printer language used by HP printers. However, neither of these options directly relates to the functionality described in the question.

Question 17

The Devices and Printers applet is capable of installing printers on remote computers.

Accepted Answer

The Devices and Printers applet is designed for managing devices and printers connected to the local computer, not for installing printers on remote computers.
