Select Start, Settings, Control Panel, System and then click on the Device Manager tab.

I say the answer is "C". They don't tell you what OS this is on.

It sounds like 2000 is the OS, as that is the procedeure to get there. I would also say the answer is C. A is wrong, there is no DM icon, B is only partially correct, and D's path does not exist. Where did you see this question?

jescab

I agree with you.

I got this question from Exam Cram2. It was the Exam Cram2 question of the day.

I use QOD, which is pretty much the same, just from a different company. I get a lot of wrong questions, or some are worded incorrectly, or they're more than one correct answer.

C is the correct answer.
There is no Device Manager Tab in the system properties. It is the hardware tab, then you click on Device Manager button.
It looks like they have it wrong.

It depends the answer might be "B" if they are using Windows 95, 98, ME
because in these OS the steps to access device manager would be

Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager Tab

But if you talk about WinNT, or 2000, or XP, then the correct option would be option "C" because in these OS the steps would be

Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager button.

I guess you people are too much into NETWORKING OS'es

But honestly, i guess the question is framed incorrectly, they should mention the OS for sure.

jescab

I agree with you 100% - they should have mentioned an OS. I stated this in my first post.

XP could be eliminated as the target OS by default. Unless you implicitly set the start menu to classic there is no setting option in XP. The control panel option is directly on the start menu in a standard install. A second option is to right click on my computer and select properties eliminating going to the control panel all together. A third option is start-->run-->sysdm.cpl

Options two and three also work on 2000, I don't remember on 98SE or ME. WinME always gave me hives so I stay away from it.
