Loadstate.exe then deposits the information that is collected to a computer running a
fresh copy of Windows 7.

6. A, C, D. Some of the new features of IE8 are Instant Search, accelerators, and Web
Slices. Instant Search allows you to quickly access search requests without typing in the
entire search criteria. Accelerators allow you to accelerate actions on Internet services
and applications. Web Slices are instances on a website that you want to access without
accessing the site.
7. D. The feature the question is referring to is View Available Networks (VAN). Before
Windows 7, when you used a wireless network adapter you would choose the wireless

In Windows 7, this is built into the operating system.
8. B. HomeGroup provides an easy way to set up a network using Windows 7. Windows 7
will search for your home network, and if it is found, it will connect after the HomeGroup

automatically create a password for the HomeGroup so other computers can join.
9. B. Jump Lists is a new feature in Windows 7 that allows you to quickly access fi les that you
have been working on. Another advantage to using Jump Lists is that certain applications,

could view all the recent websites that you have visited.
10. C. Windows Touch allows you to control the operating system and its applications by using
a touch screen. Touch screens can be placed on laptops, tabletops, GPS devices, phones,
