    • Search

    • Help & Support

    • Control Panel

    • Printers and Faxes

    Correct Answer
    A. Control Panel
    Explanation
    The Control Panel is the utility that allows users to customize their desktop. It provides access to various settings and options to personalize the appearance and behavior of the desktop. Users can change the desktop background, screen resolution, theme, icons, and other visual elements through the Control Panel. Additionally, it allows users to modify system settings, manage user accounts, install or uninstall programs, and perform other administrative tasks. Therefore, the Control Panel is the correct utility to use for customizing the desktop.

    You can alter the size of the desktop and application windows.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because you have the ability to adjust the size of both the desktop and application windows on a computer. This can be done by clicking and dragging the edges or corners of the window to make it larger or smaller. This feature allows for customization and flexibility in how you view and interact with your computer's interface.

    • The Close button

    • The Restore Down button

    • The Minimize button

    • The Maximize button

    Correct Answer
    A. The Minimize button
    Explanation
    The Minimize button would be clicked to hide the window without closing the application. This button reduces the window to a smaller size and removes it from the screen, allowing the user to easily access it again later without closing the entire application.

    The part of an application window that runs along the bottom and displays information about the current application or program window is called the______________bar

    Correct Answer
    Status
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Status." In an application window, the status bar is the section located along the bottom that provides information about the current application or program window. It typically displays details such as the current status, progress, notifications, or any other relevant information related to the application's functionality.

    • The Sounds and Auto Devices Properties dialog box.

    • The Control Panel utility.

    • The Display utility.

    Correct Answer
    A. The Control Panel utility.
    Explanation
    The Control Panel utility is the correct answer because it is a centralized location in the computer's operating system where various settings and configurations can be adjusted, including the date and time settings. It provides a user-friendly interface for managing different aspects of the computer, making it a convenient option for changing the date and time setting. The other options mentioned, such as My Network Places icon, Sounds and Auto Devices Properties dialog box, and Display utility, do not specifically relate to changing the date and time setting on a computer.

    What happens when you click a taskbar button?

    • A drop-down menu appears.

    • You activate the window represented by the taskbar button you clicked.

    • You close the current application.

    • Your work is auto saved.

    Correct Answer
    A. You activate the window represented by the taskbar button you clicked.
    Explanation
    When you click a taskbar button, you activate the window represented by that button. This means that the window associated with the button you clicked becomes the active window on your screen, allowing you to interact with it and perform tasks within that specific window. This action does not close the current application or trigger an automatic save of your work.

    A desktop window does not have a status bar?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A desktop window typically does not have a status bar. A status bar is a horizontal bar located at the bottom of a window that displays information about the current state of the application or system. It often includes details such as the current time, network connectivity, battery status, or any other relevant information. However, a desktop window, which refers to the main graphical user interface of the operating system, usually does not have a status bar as it is not necessary for basic system operations.

    • Your work is auto saved.

    Correct Answer
    A. A drop-down menu appears.
    Explanation
    When you click a menu option on the menu bar, a drop-down menu appears. This is a common feature in many software applications, where the menu bar displays a list of options and clicking on one of them reveals a sub-menu or a list of further options related to that particular menu option. This allows users to access different features and functions within the application easily and efficiently.

    The General tab in the Properties dialog box contains information about the computer's configuration. This tab typically displays details such as the computer's name, operating system version, processor type, and amount of installed memory.
