Restricting Permissions
You are setting permissions on a network share named Marketing. Currently, Bob and Aileens
accounts have Full Control over the Marketing folder. However, you want to restrict both users
so that they can revise files within the Marketing folder and create new ones, but cannot revise
executing programs. What permissions should you apply? Show how you setup the permissions.

To set up permissions:
Right click the file in Windows Explorer to expose a popup menu, and select the option for
properties.

Once properties is selected, you should be seeing this window:

Leave everything else unchecked. Heres an image detailing the changes:

Now click the Apply button to save the settings, and press OK to exit the Permissions for
Marketing Window.

Mapping a Network Drive

Samuel needs to be able to access the \Projects\Documents\98-349\ folder on the network often
and quickly. He doesnt want to click through several folders to get to the one he needs. What
can you do to help Samuel? Show your work.

Samuel will need to map the network drive. This way Samuel will have easier access to the
shared folder. Essentially, we will be mapping a drive letter to a network location. Then Samuel
can open the file with a few clicks in Windows Explorer. For this exercise, I will be using a
network file called Users.

Heres how to map a drive letter to the shared folder:

First locate your folder. This is done by opening Windows Explorer, and navigating to the file.
Mine is located here:

Right click the folder (#1), then select the Map Network Drive (#2) from the popup menu.

Once the appropriate option is selected, the Map Network Drive dialog box will be displayed.
Next youll want to specify a specific drive letter to use (#1). The Z drive should suffice here.

Once the drive letter is chosen, you can click either one of the checkboxes (#2). Choose the
one(s) that suit your preference.

Click finish.

Heres a screen grab depicting the previous few steps described above:

Now the drive should be mapped. Heres my own result:

Resolving a Driver Problem Using Recovery Boot Options

You recently installed a new video adapter in Jeffreys desktop computer using the driver
supplied on the CD in the adapter packaging. When Windows starts, the words on the screen are
unreadable. What is a possible solution for resolving the problem? Show how you would fix the
system.

I could not find anything in the assigned reading regarding Recovery Boot Options. However, if I
had a problem after installing a new driver, I would revert back to the previous device driver.

To revert back to a previous driver:

Start by typing device manager into the Windows Search field, and pressing Enter on your
keyboard.

Locate the type of device by selecting it. Once the individual devices are shown, right click the
specific device you would like to roll back the drivers on.

Chapter 11 Additional Exercises 1) Using any computer model as an example, go to the vendor's website and locate the
drivers. Determine for which operating systems the vendor provided device drivers for that
computer model.
For this problem, I am going to be using the Dell Inspiron 20 (mid 2014) as an example. I got all
the information off of Dells support site. The specific page I used for this exercise is located at:
http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/inspiron-20-3043-aio/
drivers. Dell only provides device drivers for Window 7 and 8 64 bit operating systems.

To open device manager:
Start by clicking the Windows Search button.

Once the Windows menu is open, type device manager in the Windows Search field. and press
the Enter key.

Once the previous step has been completed, the Device Manager for your computer should
