File Explorer is a tool in Windows that provides a graphical interface to help users organize, browse, and manage their files and folders on the computer. Three sorting options available in Windows File Explorer are sorting by Name, by Size, and by Type. It is important to “safely remove hardware” like a pen drive to prevent data corruption or loss that can occur if the device is disconnected while data is still being written or accessed. A file extension is a group of three or more characters, like .docx or .jpg, that appears after a file’s name. It is important because it tells the operating system what type of file it is, allowing the computer to open it with the correct software. V. Long Answer Questions
To quickly find his homework files that start with “HW,” Arjun should open File Explorer, navigate to the folder containing his files, and then type HW* into the search box located at the top-right corner. This will filter the view to show only files beginning with “HW.” To arrange all files in the folder alphabetically after finding his homework, Arjun should go to the ‘View’ tab in File Explorer, click on the ‘Sort by’ command, and then select the ‘Name’ option from the drop-down menu. Maria can effectively manage her three applications (web browser, word processor, presentation program) by utilizing Windows’ multitasking capabilities. She should open all three programs simultaneously, as Windows will display each in a separate window. To switch between them quickly, she can press the Alt + Tab keys. For a more organized view that allows her to see portions of all three at once, she can right-click on an empty area of the Taskbar and choose the “Show windows side by side” option. VI. Identifying and/or Differentiate Concepts/Processes
The * (asterisk) wildcard represents one or more characters in a search term. For example, if you search for rep*, it would find files named “report,” “republic,” or “represent.” In contrast, the ? (question mark) wildcard represents only a single character. For example, if you search for d?g, it would find files named “dog,” “dig,” or “dug,” but not “debug.” VII. Application-Based Questions
Aayat can identify her “MyProject” text document and “MyProject” presentation without opening them by looking at their file extensions. The text document will have an extension like .docx (e.g., MyProject.docx), while the presentation file will have a .pptx extension (e.g., MyProject.pptx). These extensions clearly indicate the file’s format and the software it belongs to.
