Question 4

You double-click a document called TEST GRAPHICS.VSD and the Visio application opens with the TEST GRAPHICS.VSD file active in a window. What registry hive tracked the file extension and associated it with the Visio application?

Accepted Answer

The Hkey_Classes_Root hive is responsible for tracking file extensions and their associated applications. When you double-click on a file with a certain extension, the Hkey_Classes_Root hive is checked to determine the default application associated with that extension. In this case, the TEST GRAPHICS.VSD file extension is associated with the Visio application, and the Hkey_Classes_Root hive would have tracked this association.

Question 7

What is the maximum number of entries in the root directory of a FAT16-formatted flash drive?

Accepted Answer

The maximum number of entries in the root directory of a FAT16-formatted drive is 512. This limitation is due to the structure of the FAT16 file system, which allocates a fixed size for the root directory, allowing for a maximum of 512 entries. Each entry represents a file or a directory.

Question 8

Mary is not sure what the disk in the current drive contains. Her computer is on and the command prompt is displayed. To discover what is on the disk, she must first

Accepted Answer

The DIR command will display the contents of the disk, allowing Mary to see what files and folders are stored on it. The TYPE command is used to display the contents of a file, not a disk.

Accepted Answer

CD stands for "change directory". It allows the user to move through the file system and into different directories.

Question 11

Before making changes to the registry, make a .

Accepted Answer

Before making changes to the registry, it is always a good practice to make a backup of the registry. This can be done by creating a registry backup using the built-in tool in Windows or by manually exporting the registry keys that are being modified. This ensures that in case of any issues or errors, the registry can be restored to its previous state. Creating a boot disk or backup tape is not directly related to backing up the registry and may not be necessary in this scenario. Also, choice C has a minor spelling error as it should be "disk" instead of "disc".

Question 12

The _______ is the starting point for all directories.

Accepted Answer

The term "root" refers to the starting point for all directories in a file system. It is known as the root directory or simply the root. Options A, B, and D do not accurately describe the starting point for directories.

Question 13

The current directory is C:\Util\Drivers. To return to the root directory in one step, may be entered.

Accepted Answer

CD\ will take the user to the root directory in one step. CD .. will take the user up one level at a time, so in this case, it would have to be entered twice to get to the root directory. CD\Util\Drivers would take the user to the current directory, which is not the root directory. There is no such command as CD root.

Question 14

If Sam wants the filenames that are scrolling across his screen to momentarily stop so he can read them, the command he should use is

Accepted Answer

The /P parameter in the DIR command stands for "page-wise". It allows the user to view the output one page at a time, stopping after each page. This is useful for reading large lists of filenames that are scrolling too fast to read.

Question 15

Question 16

What is the maximum number of entries in the hard drive root directory for FAT16?

Question 17

What command could be used from a command prompt environment to stop a process?

Accepted Answer

TASKKILL is a command in Windows that allows the user to terminate a process by process ID (PID) or image name. This is the most appropriate command for stopping a process from a command prompt environment. The other options (STOP, HALT, and DOWN) are not valid commands in Windows.
