Methods

Preliminary Tasks

Turned on Windows 10 File Extensions

Went to the search menu and typed File Explorer Options" in the search field.
Selected the result
Clicked on the view tab in the File Explorer Options
Unchecked the "Hide extensions for known file types" button.
Clicked OK
Despite warnings that the Seaver 120 computers were set to restore defaults once they have been restarted, the file extensions did not go away. Neither did any of my files. It is possible the computers were not restarted.

Downloading

I did not follow the download options for Firefox and Chrome. When I read this part of the Week 8 assignment I misinterpreted it as an explanation on how to download firefox or Chrome in case the seaver computer we were working on did not include it and then thought it didn't apply to the computer I was working on because I had Chrome. I see now that it was about downloading the FDA Database and not about the actual browser.
