Windows 95 Assignment 1
Tutorials 1-4


This assignment is for sections taught by Ian Allen.

Hand in 7 printouts (marked in bold type).  For full marks, follow the course assignment submission guidelines and label each printout (by hand) using the titles T1-2a, T1-2b, T2, T3-1, etc., in the upper right corner of the page.

For full marks, use the correct font (Courier) for all output and make sure the lines don't wrap.


Tutorial 1. (Create two printouts from part 2:)
  1. Follow the Tutorial 1 text from Pages 1-43 and work on a PC. (No hand-in here.)
    • When you reach page 17, do not print, but save it on disk A: (or N:) twice, one as a 256 colour bitmap type, another as a 16 colour bitmap type. Note the different file sizes.
    • From the Content tab of the Help facility, view Tour: Ten minutes to using Windows, If you've used Windows before, and Introducing Windows.

  2. Do the Tutorial Assignment on page 44. (Two printouts:)
    1. Print as indicated in steps 19-21.
    2. Capture the screen on the Device Manager tab with Disk drives and Port expanded. Paste it on Paint and print it.
Tutorial 2. (Create one printout:)
  • Follow the Tutorial 2 text from Pages 48-93. Capture and print the screen when you reach Figure 2-16 on page 67. Continue to page 93. Restore all settings back if you are using the PC in the lab.
Tutorial 3. (Print two directory listings:)
You need Student Disk 1 and a blank disk for your work here. (Select here to fetch the four Student Disks.)

Before You Begin: Make sure your Disk 1 contents matches that shown in Figure 3-12 on page 110. The toolbar should indicate your open A: floppy diskette directory. The status bar at the bottom must show 45 objects: one folder and 44 files; no more and no less.  None of the file names should have tilde characters in the names.  If your Student Disk 1 does not have this format, download and build the disk again.

Do not begin until your Student Disk 1 is correct!

  1. Follow the Tutorial 3 text from Pages 99-140. You may omit all the print steps.

    When you have completed Tutorial, use the following DOS command to generate a complete recursive directory listing (a listing that includes all the subfolders) of your A: diskette. Start an MS-DOS window and issue this DOS command to list all the folders and subfolders on A: into the text file A:\DIR1.TXT:
               DIR  A:  /S  >A:\DIR1.TXT   
    Pay careful attention to where the blanks are in this DOS command line.

    When you have created this file, exit MS-DOS. Start NotePad or WordPad, open the file A:\DIR1.TXT and print it.  (For full marks, make sure you use a Courier font, and that the output lines don't wrap!)

     

  2. Do Case Problem #2 on p.144, without doing any of the print steps. In addition, create a new folder named by your last name. Move (do not copy) files 5YrPlan.xls, Balance.xls, GrwthPln,xls, and Invoices.rpt into the new folder. Skip the print steps 9-12. When you are finished the Case Problem, produce and print a recursive directory listing of the A: diskette (as you did in Step 1, above) using file name A:\DIR2.TXT.
Tutorial 4. (Print two directory listings:)
Use Student Disk 2 for Tutorial 4. Make sure it has 3 folders: the Overhead transparencies folder has 8 files, the Template folder has 29 files as shown in Figure 4-14(p.157), and the Training folder has 12 files.  Make sure your Disk is correct before you begin!
  1. Follow the Tutorial 4 text from pages 147-182. You don't need to do any of the print steps. At Step 3 on p.160, you may use drive A: instead of My Computer if you wish to cut down the search time. When you are finished the Tutorial, produce and print a recursive directory listing of the A: diskette using file name A:\DIR3.TXT.

     

  2. Make a copy of your diskette A: from #1 above and use it here. Do the Tutorial Assignment on page 183 without doing any of the print steps (omit steps 19-20). When you are finished the Assignment, produce and print a recursive directory listing of the A: diskette using file name A:\DIR4.TXT.
