What is the role of control panel in window?

The Control Panel is a part of the Microsoft Windows graphical user interface which allows users to view and manipulate basic system settings and controls via applets, such as adding hardware, adding and removing software, controlling user accounts, and changing accessibility options. Additional applets can be provided by third party software.

The Control Panel has been an inherent part of the Microsoft Windows operating system since Windows 2.0,[1] with many of the current applets being added in later versions. Beginning with Windows 95, the Control Panel is implemented as a special folder, i.e. the folder does not physically exist, but only contains shortcuts to various applets such as Add or Remove Programsand Internet Options. Physically, these applets are stored as .cpl files. For example, the Add or Remove Programs applet is stored under the name appwiz.cpl in the SYSTEM32 folder.

In recent versions of Windows, the Control Panel has two views, Classic View and Category View, and it is possible to switch between these through an option that appears on either the left side or top of the window.

Many of the individual Control Panel applets can be accessed in other ways. For instance, Display Properties can be accessed by right-clicking on an empty area of the desktop and choosingProperties.

The classic view consists of shortcuts to the various control panel applets, usually without any description (other than the name). The categories are seen if the user use "Details" view.

The category view consists of categories, which when clicked on display the control panel applets related to the category. In Windows Vista, the category used applets below the name of the category

Why is FAT32 preferred over NTFS file system?

FAT32's main advantage for a long time was its better compatibility with non-Windows operating systems. NTFS has a higher maximum file size, and better read/write speeds, but for a time only worked properly with Windows, and was difficult to get working on Mac and Linux platforms. Support for NTFS in these other platforms has increased over the years however, so FAT32 doesn't really have a clear advantage anymore.

For small drives such as USB flash drives and SD cards however, FAT32 is still a great option, as it's maximum file size of 4GB won't matter, and it will still have a slight edge in terms of compatibility with other devices that may not support NTFS (e.g. TVs and game consoles).

What is the history of Windows?

Microsoft Windows was originally developed and released as MS Windows 1.0 AKA "Windows 85" by who else? Microsoft, in October of 1985 about a year and a half after Apple Computer intorduced the Macintosh. Naturally, it was a copyright infringement (in the beginning) program designed to make MS DOS based IBM PC's operate in a manner similar to the Macintosh that was the beginning of a whole new face and direction of personal computers. However, if you've ever seen windows 85 it is much more primitive looking than even the first Macintosh. It only allows you to multi-task about three maybe 4 programs maximum at once (depending on how much RAM your machine had) and the IBM Intel 286 processor - the most powerful computer at the time only offered a capacity for 2 MEGABYTES of memory, usually being shipped with only 760 KILOBYTES so you had to buy the other 1240KB separately.. very costly in those days too!

Maybe you've had some experience with MS DOS ver. 5.0 and later, if you have you're familiar with the graphical appearance of MS DOS SHELL. Windows 85 didn't look all that much different than that except of course you could barely multi-task and it offered the classic supplimental applications such as Wordpad (write), Notepad, and paint. I'm sure you've seen Windows 3.0 or 3.11 which runs off a program manager on the desktop, in Windows 1.0 through 2.11 it was even more basic. Your applications were run off what was called the MS DOS EXECUTIVE, basically a list even simpler than the file manager where you used the mouse to choose what programs you wanted to run at once and then pray your machine didn't freeze due to limited memory. No, the first version of windows I was genuinely impressed with was Windows 95 because it had the most resembalance to Apple's layout on Macintosh, and from about the mid 80's through 1994 I was a "Mac" guy all the way. Today, Microsoft Windows has created it's own entire appearance and is doing things many scientists deemed questionable years ago and is as advanced as ever. Even the NEWEST Macintosh computers are considered obselete and are not near as compatible as your PC Windows based applications, that's basically the history in a nutshell. The following is an addition made by Will_00:

Windows is the term for several software operating systems created by Microsoft. Microsoft took two different routes in its operating systems. It was developed for home use, and for the professional IT user. The home based software included a mainly multimedia supported functionality. The professional IT user based operating systems included a lower ranked multimedia set up, but better networking and security. The versions included Windows 1.0, Windows 2.3, Windows 3.0 (which with 3.1 somewhat overtook the basic user interface of the operating system), Windows 3.1, Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista. Of course there were others, but those are some of the major ones. The next Windows operating system, that is not a server, is entitled Windows Vienna, or Windows 7.

1. The major difference between the system Clipboard and Office clipboard is that the system Clipboard can retain only the most recently copy-pasted item (meaning it will replace the previous item when you copy a new one), but the Office clipboard will retain the last 24 items copied.
