CompTIA A+ 220-1102 Practice Question

To simplify the display of file names for the user - This is correct. Hiding file extensions is intended to make file names appear cleaner and less cluttered by removing the additional ".txt", ".jpg", ".exe", etc., for files with recognized types. This is especially useful for less technical users who might find extensions confusing.

To prevent users from accidentally modifying file names - While hiding file extensions might reduce accidental changes to the file extensions, this is not the primary purpose of the setting. The setting is intended to improve the visual simplicity of file names.

To ensure software can operate efficiently with files - File extensions are primarily for human readability and organization. Software operates based on the file's metadata and content, so hiding extensions does not impact software efficiency.

To enhance the speed at which files load in Explorer - File extensions have no impact on how quickly files load in File Explorer. Displaying or hiding them is purely a visual preference and does not affect performance.
