Windows basically uses two file systems:-
1. FAT
2. NTFS
FAT stands for File Allocation Table. FAT was first introduced in 1980 as FAT12, followed by FAT16 in 1984 and finally FAT32 in 1996. The numbers 12, 16 and 32 represent the bit size of a FAT system.
Nowadays, in Windows we get to see two FAT options which are FAT and FAT32. Simply FAT means FAT16. FAT16 partition size is limited at 2 GB for sector size of 512 bytes.FAT32 volume size is 2 TB for a sector size of 512 bytes and 16 TB for a sector size of 4,096 bytes. The maximum possible size for a file on a FAT32 volume is 4 GB minus 1 byte or 4,294,967,295 (232−1) bytes.
NTFS stands for New Technology File System and supersedes FAT system. NTFS was introduced in 1993. It allows a maximum volume size of 256TB and 16TB file for sector size of 64KB. It has numerous advantages over FAT systems.
Microsoft is coming up with a new file system with the release of Windows 8.
What is the purpose of a file system in a computer?
File systems are the structures behind how your computer stores and organizes data. Everything you install, save, edit or create on your computer comprises the trillions of bits of data a file system stores, organizes and allows access to on a daily basis for computer users. Hard drives, CD-Roms, DVD-Roms and servers are all types of file systems that allow you access to data.
File systems do not necessarily need a physical way to organize data. While most people are familiar with the file systems on their hard drive, virtual file systems exists to organize information on servers and the world wide web as well. Most file systems are organized in sections of 512 bytes where the file system software organizes, categorizes and makes available data in each of those sectors. Software will know at any given time where a particular data node is stored and how to access it instantly.
All file systems sort information into some sort of directory for easy access. Some systems create very detailed structures where others keep files in an organized disarray. Depending on the type of file system software you are running, navigating the nodes of information can be easy or difficult for the average computer user. The average computer user relies on their operating system to take care of the file system for them, and in most cases, this is all that is necessary for the computer user. More advanced user may find the organization of their data to benefit from a different type of file system all together.
Most file systems can create, move and delete files and directories similar to how you would delete a whole folder in Windows XP. You can simply drag and drop the folder into the trash can, and it is gone. In MS-DOS, you use a sequence of commands to eliminate a folder from the system. Other UNIX-based file system structures allow you further abilities to modify data without diving into the advanced realm of computing. You can also limit who has access to what functions, such as creating or editing files, via file system software within the confines of your operating system.
Is there a shortcut key for fractions?
Not in Excel. Excel does not use fractions. If you need to use fractions, then turn them into decimals. You can represent 1/2 in excel with the formula =1/2.

(Versions were released on 3.5" 720kb LD & 5.25" 1.2MB Disks, as well as on RAM Disks, But most if not all versions found today are on 1.44MB HD Disks)and a Mono Display.
How do you prevent pop ups on Google Chrome?
YouTube doesn't give users any popups. If you're seeing popups on YouTube, it may be due to malware or a browser add-on. Make sure you scan your computer and disable any potentially malicious add-ons.
A desktop icon is a symbol with text under it that is displayed on the desktop. The desktop is what is displayed when you log in on most operating systems. Common desktop icons are "My Computer" "Recycle Bin" "My documents" shortcuts to programs that are installed. By double clicking on an icon you can open the folder or program related to it.
Desktop icons are the most commonly recognized icons by most people. They are used to convey purpose of an available function on a computer. On a very graphic oriented Windows environment such as Windows XP the common desktop icons you might see are "My Computer", "Recycle Bin", and various file folders with labels.
Other operating systems such as Macintosh, and Linux desktop environments like KDE also use desktop icons in much the same way but the extension, resource or file name suffix differ. Generally icons from one operating system would need to be converted to work on a different OS.

What is the difference between Windows XP and Windows XP SP3?
full article and summary : http://www.windowsecurity.com/articles/Windows-XP-SP3-Security.html
* Stability updates: These updates impact on how the already stable XP runs increasing the availably and reliability of the operating system. * Performance updates: These updates improve XP performance and enhance interoperability and hardware compatibility. * Security Updates: These updates include previous security updates and new updates. * Out of band releases: These updates include some releases that Microsoft has developed like MMC 3.0 and core XML services 6.0. * Minor feature updates: Features like NAP have been added so that customers can now take advantage of Windows 2008 server. Support for WPA2 is also available as a separate download. Microsoft recommends Windows XP Service Pack 3 as the de facto standard for users running Windows XP. Service Pack 3 is the baseline update for customers still using Windows XP. Microsoft have elected for the latest version of Internet explorer to not be installed with Service Pack 3. If IE7 or IE6 is detected during the installation respective updates and security patches are applied to match the correct version.
How do you run Generic Cadd 6 on Win XP?
Hi;
I am already running Generic Cadd6 on XP. It's been a long time
since I set it up and I believe all I did was go to "command prompt", change directory to "C". Create directory for Cadd6 and copy the files to it. When I want to run CAdd6, I start XP...go to command prompt and then change to the cadd6 directory and type; cadd
My biggest issues were experimenting with the video and printer drivers. But, it is possible.

Should you format a new hard drive?
Depending on your hard drive. If it's a new external hard drive you should check to see if it's preformatted for your computer. For example I just bought a new LaCie drive for my Mac Powerbook. It already comes preformatted in HFS mode so I didn't have to do anything. Other external hard drives allow you to put files in a hard drive without formatting, but this can cause problems later on down the road. Some Mac who have Seagate external hard drives have reported a clicking noise and malfunctioning. I personally have had this experience as I was sharing it with a PC (Seagate doesn't recommend this). It wasn't formatted thus I couldn't put some simple stuff on the hard drive such as folders with folder icons! To format any hard drive, connect your hard drive to you Mac. Then open the disk utilities application that can be found in the utilities folder in the application folder. Select the hard drive you want to format. To find out the rest, google it. haha. I kind of forget what which button to push, but it's fairly simple. I would recommend getting specific drives for PC and Mac. You can never be too safe when backing up your information. So far my LaCie works great and is quieter than my Seagate.

What deadlock strategy is used in windows xpunixlinux operating systems?
There was, at one time, a one word answer to this question and that answer was:
ostrich
Referring to the ostrich algorithm I believe, meaning to stick one's head in the sand rather than deal with a particularly complex and bedeviling problem. In reality, there are strategies for handling deadlocks. This topic is very complexand generally not for the novice developer.
One good paper on this topic was written by Tong Li, Carla S. Ellis, Alvin R. Lebeck and Daniel J. Sorin (Department of Computer Science, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Duke University) and presented at the 2005 USENIX Annual Technical Conference in Anaheim, California.
Their paper may be found here:
http://people.ee.duke.edu/~sorin/papers/usenix05_deadlock.pdf
In practice, depending on the application, the problem may be so rare as to be hardly worth the often considerable time and effort required to construct a handler for those rare exceptions.
Anecdotally, I have encountered deadlock situations several times in the last 25 years, usually while writing applications using named pipes (FIFO), in each case I devised my own solution designed to suit the particular situation encountered. By no means a panacea, nor do I recommend this technique.
May I suggest the author of the question consider devising a universal solution for the rest of us... A general purpose, all weather solution would certainly be appreciated. :)

One starts with a "F" and the other starts with a "D"
The built in feature in Windows that allows you to browse through the files and folders is called File Explorer. It is a built-in Windows application that you can access by clicking on the folder icon on your taskbar. It is a great tool for organizing and accessing your files and folders. You can also use it to search for files on your computer and even customize how you view and sort your files.

Is Windows XP compatible with Windows 7?
Not directly they're two different operating systems XP being the older one windows 7 being the new one. But most Xp programs Are compatible With Windows Seven........ In fact I cant think of one that isn't. This is coming from a Basic Programmer.
Both windows xp and windows 7 are independent from each other. If you are asking will a windows XP program run on windows 7 then the answer will vary by program.
There is a compatibility mode in most versions of windows 7 that will make running legacy software possible
