Differences between Windows XP Pro and Windows XP Home edition

There are so many differences, but I have listed for you the most important ones. So, you can do more research.

Dynamic Disk- Dynamic’s disks allow a single disk reference to span more than one physical disk volume. It also allows the disk to be re sized without rebooting (re sized "dynamically"). When formatted as a dynamic disk, the volume does not contain partitions. A regular disk partition is called a "basic" disk, which uses primary partitions, extended partitions, and logical drive to organize data. Windows XP Pro supports dynamic disks whereas Windows Home doesn’t.

Encryption File System- EFS let you encrypt files on an NTFS partition. It is a very useful feature for securing or protecting data with encryption so that nobody except you will be able to access or view the files. Windows XP Pro supports EFS but Windows Pro does not.

Internet Information Service (IIS)- IIS allows to make your machine is a web server. Windows XP Pro supports IIS whereas Window XP Home does not.

Backup- XP Pro has a backup program; XP Home has no backup program

Multiprocessor – XP Pro supports up to two processors but XP Home supports only one processor.

Domain membership- You can join a Windows XP Pro machine to a domain but you cannot join a Windows Home machine to a domain though it can access domain resources.

Group policy- XP Pro supports group policy but XP Home does not

Windows System Key combinations

CTRL+ALT+DEL -It is used to bring up the windows security, where you can access shut down , lock computer, change password, task manager and log off. So it can be used to reboot the computer and bring up the task manager. 

Windows most common Commands (CMD)

If you a technical person, you find that you have to know most of the windows commands to be able to do most of the technical stuff. Just get yourself familiar with mostly used windows commands here.

Ping- this the most popular command. It is used to check an IP address and see whether the respective computer is online or responding to ensure that the network communication between your computer and that computer is possible. I use this command every day. Example c:\ping 192.168.0.1 –t. This command gives you a continuous connectivity monitoring of reply requests to the computer with IP address 192.168.0.1.

Ipconfig – This command display your computer IP configuration details like IP address, subnet Mask, Default Gateway and to refresh the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS) settings

Chkdsk – It is a hard-drive utility tool in Windows XP for automatically fixing file system errors or for searching for and attempted recovery of bad sectors. It creates and displays a status report for a disk based on the file system.

Exit – It exits the Cmd.exe program (that is, the command interpreter) and returns to windows.

Tracert- This diagnostic tool determines the path taken to a destination by sending ICMP Echo Request messages with varying Time to Live (TTL) values to the destination.

Msconfig- This utility automates the routine troubleshooting to diagnose system configurations issues. 

Windows Task scheduler

The Task Scheduler enables programs to be scheduled so that they run at a time specified or when a specific event occurs, when it is most convenient for you. It can perform routine tasks on a computer.

Grouping Window Tabs 

A nice feature of Windows XP is that unlike previous versions of windows when the taskbar fills up with window tabs it can consolidate all files/windows within a program into just one window tab, in other words, if you have 2 documents open in Word you will only have one tab on the taskbar (instead of 2), you can then access each document by left clicking on the tab and selecting the file/window you want from the menu that appears. This feature can be switched off by right clicking on the taskbar, clicking on properties and then unchecking the box next to Group similar taskbar buttons. 

Windows XP Icons

Icon – An icon is a small picture or symbol on a Graphical user interface(GUI) that represents a program. File, directory or device.
  ApplicationIcon: Represents an application program in a graphical user interface

Document icon: Represents a file

Folder icon: Represents a directory

Shortcut icon: It has an arrow in its lower-left corner for quick access to the object it represents

• When the recycle bin fills up, windows automatically cleans out enough space  in the recycle bin to give space to the most recently deleted files and folders
• You can set the size of the recycle bin to limit the amount of hard disk space it takes up

The Purpose of Mapping a drive

For each mapped drive, an icon appears in My Computer and a listing appears in the left pane of Windows Explorer

Windows five File security levels when browsing

Note that windows only have five files security levels when browsing. They include the following:-

•  Low is designed with the minimum safeguards and prompts. Most content is run or downloaded without any prompts. Active content, such as scripting, runs without prompting you. This setting should probably never be used, it should only be used on sites which are completely trusted.
•  Medium-low is the same as Medium but with less frequent prompts. It is appropriate for your local intranet sites or sites you completely trust.
• Medium is the default security level for the Internet. It is the most functional while preventing things like “unsigned ActiveX controls” from being downloaded.
• High is the security level for restricted sites by default. It prevents most potentially harmful items from being downloaded and provides the least functionality.
• Custom is the security level when you have changed specific security settings in one of the prepackaged security levels

Windows file Extensions

With Windows XP Professional, you can specify that files with certain file name extensions always open in the same program. You can also associate file name extensions with certain file types, or choose to modify an existing file type.

Taskbar Components

How to Pass AnyWindows XP oDesk Test

Wndows XP Operating System is a very stable Operating System. I like using it compared to any other Operating System. The reason I enjoy using it is because it is compatible with most programs especially Microsoft Dynamic Navision, which is the accounting system that I use. It is also compatible with older programs that one would like to retain as well as to continue using.

Passing Windows XP test is paramount for any computer user, because it gives you a skill that you will use for the rest of your life not to mention giving you a competitive edge in your place of work or your business.

There are so many new features that lay in the computer without being put into constructive use just because we are not aware that those features exist.Having to know about those resources and features helps us to work in a professional way and  to exhaust all the benefits available.

Before you sit for any windows XP test, read the following topics:

Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
You are likely to find about three questions on ICS, so ensure you understand what ICS is( i.e.definition), it's capability, it's benefits and it's requirements.

ICS allows more that one computer (multiple) to access the internet using the same internet connection and IP address

Examples of ICS in use

• several computers can connect to the same cable or DSL mode using a router, as long as the router is connected to the modem. Network Address Translation (NAT) allows the computers to share the same IP address. The internet traffic is routed through one computer called the ICS. This is the easiest solution to.
• ICS can alternatively be done by using operating systems that support it, Windows XP included. One computer ( called the host) is modified turning it into a gateway, so that other the other LAN computers can use that computer's internet connection. Winproxy program is used to do this. To use this you need to do some configuration.

New Windows XP features
You should be in a position to know all the new features of windows and their functions. Here is a brief list of the new Windows XP features

• ICS - Enables one computer connected to the internet to share it's internet connection with other LAN computers as explained above
• Cleartype - Makes on-screen fonts smoother and more reader by giving them a high resolution 
• Start menu The start menu of Windows XP is better than in prior operating

Systems becasue of the following changes:

• Easy access to  user's documents and system links.
• It links to My  Documents, My Pictures giving user easy access
• Gives easy access to My computer and My Network Places by placing in on the start menu
• Frequently used programs are automatically displayed in the left column. 
• Newly installed programs are highlighted and the user can pin programs to the start menu to access them quickly.
• The default internet browser and default email program are pinned to the start men..
• Start menu can be customized to add or remove links and set the number of frequently used programs.
• User's name and user's account picture are shown on the start menu. This shows who is logged on

• Inbuilt CD burner- This helps user to directly burn files to a compact disc through windows Explorer

Windows Task Scheduler
This is the process that parses trace data collected by the prefetcher and writes files to the prefetcher director. It also interacts with the defragmenter so that when the machine is idle, files and directory referenced during boot process and application start-up is created and stored in the layout.ini

On-Screen keyboard 
It helps display virtual keyboard on the the screen and allows user with mobility impairments to type data using a pointing device or joystick

Windows File Protection
This is a protection mechanism used to protect changing or replacement of windows important files/system files which are uses to run the operating system and application program. This prevents the malfunctioning of the operating system. Replacement of protected files can only be done by service pack updates, hotfixes updates,operating system upgrades and windows updates. Anything except these updates is rejected with a Windows File protection error.

Network Location Awareness (NLA)
This is a good feature for computers or devices that might move between different networks. It allows windows and applications to determine when a machine has changed network locations.

Windows XP Profiles

• Hardware profiles -these are settings that define a specific configuration of peripherals and drivers. This configuration tells Window XP which devices to start when you boot your computer, or which setting to use for each device.
• User Profiles -  These profile defines customized desktop environments, such as display, network and printer connection settings. There are three types of user profiles; namely local user profile, roaming user profile and mandatory user profiles.

Microsoft Windows MAlicious Software Removal Tool
This tool check the computers and helps remove infections by specific, prevalent malicious software and when the detection and removal process is complete, the tool displays a report describing the outcome. It created a log file name mrt.log in the %WINDIR%debug folder.

Windows XP Rover animation
