    When you delete a file, where does it go?

    • The World Wide Web.

    • Into a folder in the hard drive.

    • To the recycle bin... where it can be recovered if necessary.

    • It falls out of the back of the computer, wrapped like a christmas present

    Correct Answer
    A. To the recycle bin... where it can be recovered if necessary.
    Explanation
    When you delete a file, it is not permanently removed from the computer. Instead, it is sent to the recycle bin. The recycle bin acts as a temporary storage location for deleted files, allowing users to recover them if necessary. This provides a safety net in case a file was deleted accidentally or if it needs to be restored at a later time. However, it's important to note that emptying the recycle bin or using certain deletion methods can permanently remove the file from the system.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Deleted files only stay in the recycle bin for one day.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Deleted files do not stay in the recycle bin for just one day. The recycle bin is a temporary storage location for deleted files, and the files remain there until the user chooses to permanently delete them or empty the recycle bin. Therefore, the statement that deleted files only stay in the recycle bin for one day is incorrect.

    Correct Answer
    A. Click on the circular button on the lower left hand corner of the desktop.
    Explanation
    To access the start menu, you need to click on the circular button located on the lower left-hand corner of the desktop. This button is typically labeled with the Windows logo and is commonly known as the start button. Clicking on it will open the start menu, which provides access to various features, programs, and settings on the computer.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    The recycle bin  is used as a temporary store of files that you delete. Is this true or false?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true. The recycle bin is a temporary storage location for deleted files. When you delete a file, it is moved to the recycle bin instead of being permanently erased from the system. This allows users to restore files if they were deleted accidentally or retrieve them later if needed. The recycle bin acts as a safeguard against accidental file deletion and provides a way to manage and recover deleted files.

    Only one printer at a time can be set as default.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    This statement is true because in any operating system, only one printer can be set as the default printer at a time. The default printer is the one that will be selected automatically when a print command is given, unless the user specifically chooses a different printer. Having multiple default printers would create confusion and could result in unintended printouts. Therefore, the operating system restricts the selection of only one default printer.
