John uses his laptop computer both at work and at home. He uses a docking station at his office. Every time he starts his computer, he is prompted to choose between the Docked and Undocked hardware profiles from the Hardware Profile Menu. Now, John has decided not to use a Docking station at his office. You need to make sure that he is not prompted to choose a hardware profile each time he starts his computer. What should you do?
  1. Configure the BIOS settings to disable support for the docking station.
  2. Configure the Device Manager settings to disable all devices used by the docking station.
  3. Configure the hardware profiles so that the Undocked hardware profile is the default hardware profile for startup.
  4. Access the hardware profiles section and remove the Docked hardware profile.
Explanation
Answer - D - To make sure that John is not prompted to choose a hardware profile when he is logging in, access the hardware profiles section and remove the Docked hardware profile.

Key Takeaway: Hardware profiles describe which pieces of hardware are enabled or disabled when a system is booted under a given profile. Using hardware profiles allows a user to create different device configurations and load them quickly by selecting the appropriate profile during OS startup. To delete a hardware profile, open System in Control Panel. On the Hardware tab, click Hardware Profiles. Under Available Hardware Profiles, click the existing hardware profile you want. Click Delete to remove the selected profile.
