BOOTING

Booting, in the context of computers and technology, refers to the process of starting
up a computer system. When you turn on or restart a computer, it goes through a
sequence of actions to initialize hardware components, load the operating system into
memory, and prepare the system for user interaction. The term "boot" comes from the
phrase "bootstrap," which means to pull oneself up by one's bootstraps, suggesting a
self starting process.

There are several types of booting processes in the context of computer systems. The
main types of booting include:

1. Cold Boot: This is the process of starting a computer from a completely powered-
off state, where the system's power is initially switched on, and it goes through the
entire startup sequence.

2. Warm Boot: Also known as a soft reboot, this is the process of restarting a
computer that is already powered on and running. In this case, the computer
reinitializes the operating system and software without going through the entire
hardware initialization process.

3. Network Boot: This booting method involves loading the operating system from a
network server rather than from local storage devices. It is often used in thin clients,
diskless workstations, or when deploying operating systems across multiple computers
on a network.

4. Remote Boot: This is similar to network booting but typically involves loading an
operating system or software remotely from another computer or server, often used for
remote management and recovery purposes.

5. Dual Boot: In a dual-boot system, two or more operating systems are installed on a
single computer, and the user can choose which one to boot into when starting the
computer. This is commonly done to run different operating systems or versions on
the same hardware.

6. Multiboot: Multiboot refers to the ability of a computer to boot multiple operating

systems on a single device, allowing the user to select which OS to load at startup. It's
commonly used in scenarios where different OSes need to coexist on the same
machine.
STEPS IN CREATING A FOLDER

Creating a folder on a computer is a straightforward process. Here are the general

steps to create a folder in most operating systems, like Windows, macOS, and Linux:

1. **Navigate to the Location:** Open the file explorer or finder on your computer to
the location where you want to create the folder. This can be your desktop, a specific
drive, or an existing folder.

2. **Right-Click (Windows) or Control-Click (Mac):** Locate an empty space within

the directory where you want to create the folder. Right-click on Windows or control-
click on Mac to bring up a context menu.

3. Select "New" (Windows) or "New Folder" (Mac):In the context menu, you should
see an option to create a new folder. In Windows, it's usually labeled "New," and in
macOS, it's "New Folder."

4. **Name the Folder:** After selecting "New Folder," a new folder icon will appear,
and the name will be highlighted for editing. Type the desired name for your folder.
You can use letters, numbers, and some special characters in the folder name.

5. **Press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac):** Once you've named the folder, press
the "Enter" key on Windows or "Return" on Mac to confirm the folder's name

MANIPULATIVE KEYS

"Manipulative keys" is not a commonly recognized term in the context of computer

technology or standard keyboard terminology. It's possible that you might be referring
to a specific type of key or function, but without more context or details, it's
challenging to provide a precise explanation.
