Basic Functions of an Operating System

The operating system has four main roles:

? Control hardware access - The operating system manages the interaction

between applications and the hardware. To access and communicate with the

hardware, the operating system installs a device driver for each hardware

component. A device driver is a small program written by the hardware

manufacturer and supplied with the hardware component. The process of

assigning system resources and installing drivers can be performed with Plug

and Play (PnP). The operating system automatically detects the PnP-

compatible hardware and installs the driver for that component. The operating

system then configures the device and updates the registry, which is a

database that contains all the information about the computer.

? The registry contains information about applications, users, hardware, network

settings, and file types.
