Difficulty: MediumWindows Control Panel Utilities

A desktop technician is optimizing a Windows workstation for a dedicated data processing role. The technician needs to adjust system-level performance settings using Control Panel utilities. Which TWO of the following tasks are accomplished within the Advanced tab of the System Properties dialog accessed via the System Control Panel applet?

  1. Configuring the virtual memory paging file size and storage drive locationAnswer
  2. Adjusting system visual effects to favor best performance over appearanceAnswer
  3. C
    Rebuilding search indexes and adding custom directory paths to the search catalog
  4. D
    Managing stored web login credentials and saved Windows network authentication tokens

Answer

Configuring virtual memory paging file size and adjusting visual effects for best performance are both managed via the Advanced tab of System Properties in the System Control Panel applet.
The Advanced tab of System Properties (accessible via the System Control Panel applet under Advanced system settings) opens the Performance Options dialog. This dialog allows administrators to adjust visual effects settings to optimize performance and to modify virtual memory configuration, including custom paging file sizes and drive locations.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the target Control Panel utility and tab required by the scenario
The scenario requires tasks performed within the System Control Panel applet's System Properties (Advanced tab).
System Properties contains system-level configuration sub-dialogs for Performance, User Profiles, and Environment Variables.
2
Evaluate candidate settings against the Performance Options sub-dialog
The Performance Options dialog under the Advanced tab controls both 'Visual Effects' (performance vs. appearance) and 'Advanced' virtual memory (paging file size and drive location).
Both virtual memory adjustments and visual effects tuning directly reside within the Performance settings under the Advanced tab.
3
Filter out configuration tasks belonging to distinct Control Panel applets
Indexing options belong to Indexing Options; stored credentials belong to Credential Manager.
Windows separates file indexing service configuration and user credential vaults into dedicated standalone Control Panel applets.
