Objective 1.2 Questions

1.	One of your customers manages a small business office with six computers running Windows XP Professional. She was at a colleague’s office lately and noticed that whenever she started Internet Explorer, it opened to a blank Web page. She wants to do this on the computers in her office, too. She also wants to ensure that users cannot change to a different home page. What should you do? (Choose all that apply.) On the General tab of the Internet Options dialog box, click Use Blank to have Internet Explorer open to a blank home page. On the General tab of the Internet Options dialog box, configure the settings for Temporary Internet Files so that Internet Explorer never checks for a new version of pages. Use the Local Security Policy tool to create a local policy enforcing the Disable Changing Home Page Settings option. Use gpedit.msc to create a policy enforcing the Disable Changing Home Page Settings option.
2.	One of your customers uses a notebook computer running Windows XP Professional. She has a large number of news-related websites that she reads daily. Frequently, she disconnects her notebook computer from the Internet to take it to a more comfortable location. She wants to be able to read her news sites while she is disconnected. How can she configure Internet Explorer to allow her to do this? Increase the size of the cache for temporary Internet files to its maximum. Add the sites to her Favorites menu and then use the Organize Favorites dialog box to make the sites available offline. On the Connections tab of the Internet Options dialog box, use the LAN Settings button to configure offline access to the websites she wants to read. She cannot configure Internet Explorer in this manner. You should suggest that she set up a wireless connection to the Internet.
3.	One of your customers recently had a nephew stay at his house for the weekend. The nephew used the customer’s computer and changed the search engine used by Internet Explorer. The customer wants to change the search engine back but cannot remember what the default was. What should you do? Use the General tab of the Internet Options dialog box to clear the Internet Explorer history. Use the Content tab of the Internet Options dialog box to change the AutoComplete information. On the Programs tab of the Internet Options dialog box, use the Reset Web Settings button. Reinstall Internet Explorer.
4.	One of your customers has enabled Content Advisor on her home computer to protect her child from questionable content on the Internet. However, there are a number of sites with acceptable content that the child cannot access, probably because Content Advisor is not letting Internet Explorer display sites that have not been rated. Your customer wants to let the child view the acceptable sites, yet still maintain control of the sites the child visits. What is the best solution? Disable Content Advisor and instead set the Privacy setting in Internet Explorer to High. Configure Content Advisor so that users can see sites that have no rating. Enter the sites the child needs to access into Content Advisor’s list of approved sites. You cannot configure this by using Content Advisor. The customer should purchase a third-party filtering program.
