Randy has extracted data from an old version of a Windows-based system and discovered info file Dc5.txt in the system recycle bin. What does the file name denote?

Question

Options

• AA text file deleted from C drive in sixth sequential order
• BA text file deleted from C drive in fifth sequential order
• CA text file copied from D drive to C drive in fifth sequential order
• DA text file copied from C drive to D drive in fifth sequential order

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  88% (28)
• C
  6% (2)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

In older Windows systems (pre-Vista), the Recycle Bin renamed deleted files using a specific naming convention: 'D' indicates the file was Deleted, the lowercase letter following 'D' indicates the source drive letter (here 'c' = C drive), the number indicates the sequential order in which files were deleted (here '5' = fifth file deleted), and the extension (.txt) is the original file extension. Therefore, Dc5.txt means the fifth file deleted from the C drive, and it was originally a text file.
