User managements (lesson 3) Flashcards
What is User management?
Allows multiple users to log into one computer.
The operating system retains settings for each user such as icons or desktop backgrounds.
Each user may have different access rights to files and programs.
A client-server network may impose a fixed or roaming profile for auser and manage login requests to the network.
What is file managment?
Data is stored in files.
An extension to the filename tells the operating system which applicationto load the file into.
The operating system presents a logical structure of files in folders and allows the user to rename, delete, copy and move files.
Explain what fragmented means.
Data fragmentation occurs when a collection of data in memory is broken up into many pieces that are not close together.
(It is typically the result of attempting to insert a large object into storage that has already suffered external fragmentation.)
