Exam Tip

This Exam Tip at the bottom of this page describes the syntax of ARC paths. The 3rd sentence reads "The value following multi indicates the disk number." This is incorrect. The value following multi indicates the adapter/disk controller.

Key Points

The first key point at the bottom of the page, in the 3rd. sentence states "The value following multi indicates the disk number." This is incorret. The sentence should read "The value following multi indicates the adapter/disk controller." This same error is displayed on page 4-7 in the Exam Tip. See the table 4-2 on page 4-7 ARC Path Naming Conventions for clarification. Also see the figure 4-1 on page 4-8 that shows the correct identification of multi(x)

Compressed Folders Features

Benefits of using compressed folders generated with the Compressed Folders feature include the following:
■ You can create and use compressed files and folders on both file allocation table (FAT) and NTFS volumes.


■ You can encrypt compressed folders that you created using this feature.
■ You can compress folders without decreasing performance.

------
The above errors are illuminated later in this section by the following entries:

Pg 10-30
Note NTFS encryption and compression are mutually exclusive. For that reason, if you select
the Encrypt Contents To Secure Data check box, you cannot compress the folder or file.
Pg 10-38
You cannot apply both compression and encryption to a file or folder at the same time.

Pg 10-32
Moving or copying a file or folder to a FAT volume Windows XP Professional
supports compression only for NTFS files, so when you move or copy a compressed
NTFS file or folder to a FAT volume, Windows XP Professional automatically
uncompresses the file or folder.

Pg 10-33
NTFS compression can cause performance degradation when you copy and move
files.

2. Which of the following pieces of information can be gathered from the Windows Task Manager? Choose three correct answers.

A. CPU utilization
B. Network utilization
C. Page file utilization
D. Packet loss
E. Memory usage
F. Open files

Pg 24-9 (Answers)

2. Correct Answers: A, B, and E
A. Correct: CPU utilization is shown both numerically and graphically on the Performance
tab of the Windows Task Manager.
B. Correct: Network utilization is shown both numerically and graphically on the
Networking tab of the Windows Task Manager.
C. Incorrect: Page file utilization information is not available from the Windows
Task Manager.
D. Incorrect: Packet loss cannot be viewed from the Windows Task Manager. However,
executing the command NETSTAT -S -P TCP from the command line shows
the Segments Retransmitted statistic, which is very similar to overall packet loss.
E. Correct: Memory usage is shown both numerically and graphically on the Performance
tab of the Windows Task Manager.
F. Incorrect: Open files cannot be viewed from the Windows Task Manager.

There are five correct answers.
With Task Manager open, Page File Usage History is available under the Performance tab. Under the Applications tab, it is possible to see which files are open on the computer.
