Sunday, February 14, 2010 Posted In CS and IT Edit ThisQ1. Compare the following with examples.
1. Active and Inactive window
When you are doing more than one thing at a time on your computer, you have different windows on the desktop showing you what you are doing. The one you are using at that very moment is the 'Active' window, and all of the others are the 'inactive' windows.
2. File and Folder
File or folder is other terms used for file folders, but file folders is a common name for the item in the United States. Manila folders are likely the most common, but file folders come in many different forms. In the United States, letter and legal sizes are common.
3. Resizing and restoring window
Resizing and restoring windows are similar but different tasks.
Resizing a window is likely self explanatory - you can make the window larger or smaller, and you can resize the window vertically, horizontally, or a combination of the two.
Restoring windows, however, does not allow you to do the same thing. Restoring the window reverts the window to its previous location and size if you have either minimized or maximized the window.

4. Folder tree and Window explorer
Folder tree
A folder tree with support for drag and drop. Rearrange the nodes in the tree by dragging and dropping them like you do with folders in a file manager or in a mail program (Outlook, Thunderbird etc.). Ajax is used to send the new structure to the server.
Window explorer
Is a file manager application that is included with releases of the Microsoft Windows operating system from Windows 95 onwards It provides a graphical user interface for accessing the file systems. It is also the component of the operating system that presents the user interface on the monitor and enables the user to control the computer. It is sometimes referred to as the Windows Shell, or simply “Explorer”.
5. Shutting down and Restarting computer
shutting down turns it off unstill you turn it back on restarting turns it off for a few seconds then automatically turns it back on.
Q2. What is system tray? What is its use?
In Windows the System tray is usually found on the right hand side of the taskbar bar. It contains icons like the clock, volume adjuster, networking connection, antivirus. Programs that tend to always be running sit in here and don’t take up room on the normal taskbar.
Messages can pop up from here as well saying things are out of date and need updating, or you have lost your network connection.
To adjust some of the settings in Vista you can right click the task bar, click properties, click notification area
