Computer File Systems

JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group, the committee that developed this compression standard in 1992. TGA is from Truevision, PSD from Adobe, and GIF from CompuServe.

PSD (Photoshop Document) is Adobe Systems' proprietary format for Photoshop files. TGA is from Truevision, JPEG from the Joint Photographic Experts Group, and GIF from CompuServe.

The French word 'fichier' translates to 'file' in English, referring to computer files or documents. Circuit board, image, and format are related concepts but not the direct translation of fichier.

The default file extension for Word documents is .doc (for older Word 97-2003 format) or .docx (for Word 2007+ XML format). Both are valid Word extensions. Option C correctly identifies 'doc' as a Word extension.

In French, 'portefeuille' refers to a wallet or purse used for carrying money, cards, and documents. It's a false friend - the literal translation 'portfolio' means something different in English.

Windows reserves 'con' as a reserved device name dating back to MS-DOS, along with 'prn', 'aux', 'nul', etc. These refer to system devices and cannot be used as filenames, though workarounds exist with prefixes like 'con1'.

The correct answer is C because files on the internet are stored on individual computers called servers, which host websites and deliver content when requested. The internet is not one single massive computer (option B), nor does it store files on your personal computer (option A) or on routers (option D), which simply direct traffic between servers.

In server-side JavaScript environments like Node.js, the File object provides file system operations for reading and writing files. Function and Date are core JavaScript objects available in both client and server environments. FileUpload is not a standard JavaScript object.

MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) is a standard for lossy compression of video and audio. JPEG is a format for still images, and TXT is for plain text files. Therefore, MPEG is the only video format listed.

The 'Drafts' folder is specifically designed to store email messages that have been started but not yet sent. The Outbox holds messages waiting to be transmitted, and the Inbox holds received messages.

Windows installation files use the .CAB (cabinet) extension, which is a compressed archive format used to package installation files. While .EXE files are executable programs, the actual installation data is stored in .CAB files. This format allows efficient compression and distribution of Windows components.

DLL stands for Dynamic Link Library, which are shared code libraries that multiple programs can use simultaneously. The 'Link' refers to dynamic linking, where code is loaded into memory only when needed and can be shared across applications. This reduces memory usage and allows easier updates.

Deleted files in Windows typically move to the Recycle Bin (or Trash on Mac), temporary storage before permanent deletion. The distractors misspell this as Recar, Rebike, and Retrain to sound similar but mean nothing.

TIFF stands for Tagged Image File Format, a file format for storing images popular among graphic artists and the publishing industry. It supports multiple layers and pages. Options A, B, and D incorrectly use words like "Top" and "Ten" instead of the correct "Tagged".

Windows key + F opens the search/find files function in Windows Explorer, allowing you to quickly search for files and folders on your computer. This is a direct shortcut to the search feature without having to open Explorer first. The 'F' stands for find or search.
