The taskbar at the bottom of your screen displays icons and titles of all programs or folders currently active on your screen. This allows you to easily switch between different programs or folders without having to search for them on your desktop or in the Start menu. It provides a convenient way to access and organize your open applications and files.

When we forget where we saved a file or folder, the appropriate action to take is to start looking for it. This means searching through different folders or using the search function to locate the file or folder. It is not correct to say that the file is lost, as it may still be on the computer but in an unknown location. Saying that this can't happen is also incorrect, as forgetting the location of a file is a common occurrence. Therefore, the correct answer is to start looking for the file or folder.

To minimize your screen, you would click on the small horizontal line in the upper right corner of your screen. This action will reduce the size of the window and move it to the taskbar, allowing you to access other programs or windows without closing the current one.

The correct answer is "Click the start button, choose devices and printers to select". This is because the question is asking for the correct way to check or change printer preferences. By clicking the start button and choosing devices and printers, you can access the list of printers connected to your computer and make any necessary changes to their settings.

To highlight an item, you would use your mouse to hold down the left button while going over the item. This action is commonly known as "click and drag" and it allows you to select and highlight an item on the screen. Left-clicking on the item or rolling the mouse over it does not necessarily highlight the item, as those actions may have different functions depending on the context. Therefore, the correct answer is to hold down the left button while going over the item.

Clicking on the start button and then clicking on the all programs button will display categories. This means that when the user performs these actions, they will see a list of categories or folders that contain various programs or applications on their computer. This allows the user to easily navigate and access the different programs installed on their system.

When copying a file from one location to another, the original file remains unchanged and unaffected. The file is duplicated and a new copy is created in the destination location, leaving the original file intact.

When you place your mouse in a particular position and then click, the cursor changes to a white arrow. This is a common behavior in computer systems where the cursor changes its appearance to indicate that it is ready to perform an action such as selecting or clicking on an object. The white arrow cursor is typically used when hovering over clickable elements like buttons, links, or menus, indicating that they can be interacted with.

Both A and B are correct because there are multiple ways to copy an item. In option A, you can right-click on the highlighted item and select the copy option from the context menu. In option B, you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C after highlighting the item. Both methods achieve the same result of copying the item.

When you "Mouse-Over" an on-screen image, it means that you move your mouse cursor over the image without clicking any button. This action triggers a response from the image, causing it to change in some way. This could include displaying additional information, revealing a different image, or activating a specific function related to the image. Therefore, "Mouse-Over" is the correct answer as it accurately describes the action that causes the on-screen image to change.
