You are working as a technician at Certkiller .com. You are asked to see if you can optimize the
performance of the computers in the computer lab. Which of the following should you schedule to
run at a regular interval in order to optimize system performance in the computer lab? (Select
THREE).
A.
backup of data
B.
run a registry backup program
C.
deletion of temporary files
D.
defragment the hard drive
E.
run MSCONFIG
F.
run anti-spyware/malware program
Explanation:
Backing up data or registry entries will not speed up a computer as the backup will not change
anything on the computer itself. But a backup might be a good idea before doing any other
performance raising tasks.
MSConfig, or System Configuration Utility, is a system configuration utility bundled with all
Microsoft Windows operating systems released after 1995 except Windows 2000. Windows 2000
users can download the utility separately, however. This tool modifies which programs run at
startup, edits certain configuration files, and simplifies controls over Windows services.
