CHAPTER WINDOWS OPERaTinG sysTE Ql. What is an Operating System? What is its purpose? Discuss types of Operating Sy: OPERATING SYSTEM; e An operating system (OS) is a set of computer programs that manage the hardware and software resources of a computer. An operating system performs basic tasks such as: ¢ Controlling and allocating memory ° Prioritizing system requests © Controlling input and output devices e Facilitating networking and managing file systems. ¢ Example: Examples of operating system are DOS, Windows 98, 2000, XP, Linux and UNIX etc. PURPOSE/OBJECTIV. F OPERATING S There can be many objective of an operating system but a few important are discussed below: e It manages the hardware resources (processor, memory, disk space etc) of the system. e It manages the software resources (application programs, utilities etc) of the system. e It provides a user interface. e It provides the facility to use the hardware without knowing its detail. TYPES OF OPERATING SYSTEM: On the basis of user interface there are two types of operating system. GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE OPERATING SYSTEM: e In GUI operating system icons, windows and buttons are used as visual components. e These components or objects are used to perform different tasks. e Users of these operating systems need not to memorize commands. e User can perform a task like copying a file without writing a command. e Exampl WY : Examples of GUI operating systems are windows, Linux, and Solaris etc. ND LINE OPERATING SYSTEM e In Command Line operating system user need to write a command to perform a certain task. ¢ To write commands user need to memorize them. ¢ These operating systems are providing textual interface. e Example: Examples of Command Line operating system are DOS (Disk Operating System), Unix etc. A Comparison of Command Line and GUI Operating System: Command Line Interface Operating System It is difficult to remember its commands. It s also difficult to type commands for different tasks. Users have excellent control on the file system. Ease Control GUI Operating System It is easy to use. It is very easy to remember different sequence of activities to perform a certain task. Users have better control on the file system. But in some cases they need to use the command line interface to complete a task. Multit: asking Many command line interfaces are multitasking but they don’t have the ability to display multiple tasks on the screen at the same time. In GUI multiple tasks can be performed at the same time. These tasks are also displayed on the screen. GUI operating systems are faster in multitasking. Speed Command line interface is fast to perform a task. GUL is slower while performing a certain task. Scripting In command line operating system a user can write the commands in a sequence and use them to perform a certain task. GUI operating system provides shortcuts to perform task fast, but it doesn’t come close in comparison to what is available through a command line. Starting to Use Windows Operating Syste: © Windows is a Graphical User Interface operating system. It is used in many businesses, research organizations and educational institutes. © The first version was windows 1.01 and it was released in 1985. e After five years, in 1990 windows 3.0 was introduced. It was a complete operating environment. It was providing GUI that runs on top of DOS. e In 1995 Microsoft released Windows 95. It was a complete operating system. e Meanwhile Windows NT (New Technology) was also introduced for networks. In 1998 a new version of windows was launched. * Now today’s most commonly versions of windows like 2000 (server and professional) and XP are based on NT Technology. Q2. What are the Objects of Windows Operating System? To control windows working there are many objects. These objects help in providing multitasking environment to the users. Following are the basic components of windows operating system. Desktop e The work area of a windows operating system is called desktop. ¢ Different icons, menus and dialog boxes appear on the desktop. e Itis the main screen from where user can interact with the system. My Computer ¢ It is a special icon on the desktop. It shows all the disks installed in a computer. e Drives are displayed as icons in My Computer folder. e Using my computer folder we can access our files and folders to store and retrieve data. Recycle Bin e A recycle bin, or trash can, is a temporary storage for files and folders that have been deleted. e These files and folders are not permanently erased from the physical media. Typically, a recycle bin allows the user to browse deleted files, undelete those that were deleted by mistake, or delete them permanently (either one by one, or all at once). My Documents On Microsoft Windows operating systems, My Documents is the name of a special folder. It is commonly used to store documents, music, pictures, downloads, and other files. It is the default storage location for a lot of application programs. This folder is visible on the desktop. Windows Explorer Windows Explorer is an application that provides detailed information about your files, folders, and drives. You can use it to see how your files are organized and to copy, move, and rename files, as well as perform other tasks pertaining to files, folders, and drives. There are several ways to get to Windows Explorer. The simplest way is to right-click the Start menu or the My Computer icon and selects Explore. Alternatively, you can access it from the Start menu as described below. The difference between windows explorer and my computer is of tree view control.

In Microsoft Windows operating system most of the objects are displayed in window. It is the basic building block of all the graphical objects. Different applications have their own windows. Control Panel Control Panel is a part of the Microsoft Windows graphical user interface which allows users to view and manipulate basic system settings and controls, such as adding hardware, adding and removing software, controlling user accounts, and changing accessibility options. e The control panel is an independent program, not a folder as it appears, which 1s accessed from the start menu, and is stored in the system32 directory as control.exe under Windows XP. Start button e The Start Menu and Start Button are user interface elements in the Microsoft Windows, which serve as the central launching point for applications. Start Menu provides e Accustomizable nested list of programs for the user to launch e A list of most recently opened documents e A way to find files and get help, and access to the system settings. Q3. Discuss use of Mouse and Keyboard events in windows. e Mouse and keyboard are two very basic input devices. e These two devices are used with almost every computer. ¢ Mouse is a point and draw device and used with GUI environment. e Keyboard is a textual input device and used with both GUI and command line systems. e Mouse events are those actions which are performed by the mouse. e Following are three common events initiated with mouse. Left Click e This event triggers when we press left click button of the mouse. ¢ Windows perform certain tasks against this action e.g. it is used to select an item. e Another example can be to activate the start button by using left click button of the mouse. Right Click e This event triggers when we press right click button of the mouse. e Windows perform certain tasks against this action e.g. it is used to display the context menu about a particular object on which our mouse pointer lies. e Another example can be to view the properties of an object right click option is used. Drag e Select an item, press the left click button and drag it to from one location to another while keeping the left mouse button pressed. ¢ This facility is available only in GUI environment. Mouse is the best device used to perform such tasks. KEYBOARD EVENTS} ¢ Keyboard events are those which occur with the help of keys of the keyboard. Different application programs perform different actions against these events. Key Up * This event triggers when we release already pressed key of the keyboard. Key Down e This event triggers when we press a key from the keyboard Q4. What are features of Windows? e Microsoft Windows is a Graphical User Interface operating system. e In early versions of windows there was no network support but later ones have this feature. Here we are discussing a few features of windows. Multitasking e Performing more than one tasks at the same time is called multitasking e.g. while typing we are enjoying the music on our computer. ¢ Windows 2000 has this capability to load multiple programs in memory at the same time and execute them concurrently. Multiprocessing e The ability to manage more than one microprocessor is called the multiprocessing. e Windows 2000 has the capability to manage more than one microprocessor. e In this environment operating system assigns different jobs to different microprocessors to perform. Multiprocessing system are fast than uni-processor systems. Multi-User e A multi-user operating system allows more than one users to use it at the same time. ¢ Windows 2000 is a multi-user operating system. Plug and Play e Plug and play refers to the capability to attach a device with computer and start to use it. e Operating system will automatically installs and configure its drivers. e Windows 2000 has this feature. A mechanism is defined in windows 2000 that automatically detects a new hardware device. ¢ There is a long list of drivers available with windows 2000. Networking e Windows 2000 provides complete networking support. e It provides the features of establishing, maintaining and troubleshooting the network. Qs. What is Disk Management feature of Windows: DISK MANAGEMENT| k management is a process of organizing the disks attached to a computer system. Windows operating system has this capability. To keep the data managed at separate locations a disk can be divided into different partitions. There are two types of disk partitions. Primary Partition This partition is used as system partition. Files required to boot a system are located on this partition. A maximum of four primary partitions or three primary and one extended partition can be created on a hard disk. Primary partitions can be created only on basic disks and cannot be further partitioned. Extended Partition Extended partition is a partition that can contain further partitions. One out of four on a physical disk can be an extended partition, and no primary partitions needs to be present to create an extended partition. Disk Management Utility Disk management utility provides a graphical interface to view and manage disks and their partitions. All information about disks can be viewed in a single window. This utility is used to perform disk related tasks, such as creating partitions, formatting them and assigning drive letters. Disk management utility also tells which drive contains the system partition. =101x!| 218i) || +} | I Pimay pation tended patton ll Legal de File Management feature of Windows.
