When you access a Web page on the Internet, what can be placed in your system that is used as a sort of tracking device to uniquely identify you?
Acceptor
Cookie
A Multipurpose Internet Extension
UNC
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. All other choices are invalid.
Which of the following are potentially harmful to the welfare of a system?
Cookies
Signed applets
JavaScripts
All of the above
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 that at times are able to circumvent network security parameters. They can be used to manipulate files on users’ computers.
Concerning applet security levels, please select the choice that best represents the most-restrictive to the least-restrictive applet security level.
Low, Untrusted, Medium, High
Untrusted, High, Medium, Low
High, Medium, Low, Untrusted
None of the above
Correct Answer = B.
Applets can be assigned various security levels, which include Untrusted, High, Medium, and Low levels of security. Please refer to Table 14.1 for the various levels of unsigned applet security and their levels of restriction. All other choices are invalid.
Which of the following would you consider using in the event of a failed software installation for new hardware?
System Restore
Disk Defragmenter
ScanDisk
None of the above
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.
If you were interested in setting up User Profiles that you wanted to be completely independent of each other (where all the Favorites, Start menus, and so forth were different), where would you go first to specify that you wanted such accounts created?
Start > Settings > Control Panel > System
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Passwords
Command line DXDIAG
None of the above
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.
You can access a real DOS prompt using Windows Me (not a Window applet). What is required to do so?
A Windows Me start-up disk
A version of Windows XP installed opposite your Windows Me installation
To install DOS from Add/Remove Programs list
None of the above
Correct answer = A.
A version of Windows XP installed on your machine won’t help you access a DOS prompt. Unfortunately, DOS cannot be added or removed from within Windows Me.
Which of the following does not come enabled with an installation of Windows Me? (Choose Two)
System Restore
DMA support for hard drives
Remote Assistance
Device Manager
Correct Answers = B and C.
Both System Restore and Device manager are set up and enabled after a Windows Me installation.
When using Windows Me to connect to a Windows NT domain server, which of the following is true?
Windows Me cannot connect to a Windows NT domain server.
You will be unable to use System Restore while connected to the Windows NT domain server.
A loss of performance will be observed when accessing Windows NT network resources.
User accounts must be created on the Windows NT server for every Windows Me user who will need to access resources on the Windows NT server.
Correct Answer = A.
It is possible to connect to a Windows NT domain server as long as the user accounts are created for every Windows Me user. System Restore will still work fine, and no performance loss will be present when accessing networked resources.
Which two files are noticeably absent from the Windows Me start-up process?
AUTOEXEC.BAT
CONFIG.SYS
All of the above
None of the above
Correct answer = C.
In fact, these two missing-in-action files are the only noticeable difference between Windows Me start-up and other Windows 9.x applications.
When setting up a subnet on a machine that is a client (or station that receives) Internet Connection sharing from another machine (server), how many network cards will you need?
One.
Two.
You cannot set up a subnet from a machine that is not the server for Internet Connection Sharing.
None of the above.
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.
