    1) Most MS-DOS files are created by ____ PROMPT?

    ? I don't really understand this, especially the "PROMPT" part. MS-DOS files are created by programs, by the file system, by people. Maybe the answer is the EDIT or the COPY command.

    2) Using ____, an MS-DOS user can change or override the standard I/O devices ?

    SUBST will override drives. The pipe character, "|" redirects output; The ">" (output) and "<" (input) characters redirect the input and output functions. Maybe they want "DEST", the destination command.

    3) The Windows XP GUI incorporates a command line shell comparable to ____ FILE NAME?

    Maybe CMD.EXE or COMMAND.EXE in Windows?

    4) The standard Windows user interface is called the ___ ? PARAMETER?

    Windows Shell? Graphical User Interface? Command Interpreter? I don't know.

    5) In Windows, deleted files or folders are not permanently removed from the computer until the user ____ ?

    Deleted files are only marked "Deleted" in the FAT table. The space allocated to them on the disk is freed for reuse and a special character is set to the first character in the file name. If you write to the disk, it is randomly possible to reuse the space that was deleted. The possibility is increased after the user reboots the computer. The user can also wipe the disk using a special program intended for that purpose. I'm not sure what the desired answer is.
