CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 159

A customer is having trouble opening several files on a computer. The customer renames one of the files, but then the correct program will no longer open it.
Which of the following settings is a solution to the issue?

Answer options

• A. Set the view options to detail
• B. Hide the extensions
• C. Utilize Credential Manager
• D. View the system files

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as hiding file extensions can lead to confusion about the file type, and renaming a file without the proper extension may result in it being unrecognized by the associated application. The other options do not address the issue of file recognition related to extensions.
