Define five of the key terms listed in the Vocabulary Table. User mode: This mode is available for Windows users with limited access. These users do not have access to hardware and can only access their own address space in the Windows environment.

This mode includes access to the Windows NT family Executive Services, the hardware abstraction layer (HAL), and the Microkernel. (Regan, 2006)
CDFS: CDFS Is the CD-ROM file system. This is a read-only file system used to access a CD-ROM disk. Since this system is read-only, you cannot assign permissions to files on a CD-ROM through CDFS. (Regan, 2006)
