Restoration of files originating from a backup will be called "Restoring".
S
Safe mode
A limited start-up of the Windows operating system is called "Safe Mode".
During PC start-up, before Windows loading, the start options menu may be
opened by holding the F8 key. For repairs and for conducting tests, a limited
Windows operating system may be booted. The limitations consist mostly of
device drivers and auto-start objects, which are not loaded.
Note! The key for opening the start options menu may be other that F8 in
different Windows versions!
Screenshot
A screenshot is an image composed of all visible screen elements (messages,
open dialogs, etc.) at a certain time. By pressing the "Print screen" key on the
keyboard, this image is saved into the clipboard. Next, open a program which
can edit images and select "Insert" (shortcut "Ctrl+V") in a new document to
add the screenshot for editing and saving.
Note: Press "Alt + Print screen" on the keyboard to capture the active window
only.
Setup
In computer jargon, the word "setup" is often applied to different concepts.
"Setup", above all in the Microsoft Windows environment, usually indicates the
installation and setting up of new programs on the system. That's why the
installation file is often named "setup.exe". Once the product is installed,
"setup" often translates into a window or dialog that provides the basic
settings for the program.
Slider
Used for visual input of values. Similar to volume control on a mixing board,
you can control various parameters by sliding the fader. A very common
example for this is the zoom slider that lets you see a picture in more detail.
