What feature lets administrators specify which file types can be saved on Windows volumes or folders?

• A. File Screening
• B. Data Loss Prevention
• C. Access Control List
• D. Shadow Copy

Answer: (A)

Blocking or allowing specific file types at the moment they’re saved is handled by File Screening. This capability, part of Windows Server’s File Server Resource Manager, lets administrators define rules that specify which file extensions or types are permitted on particular volumes or folders. When a user tries to save a disallowed type, the system can block it or log an alert, helping enforce storage policies across the network. Data Loss Prevention is broader and isn’t limited to filesystem-level file-type restrictions. Access Control Lists govern who can access files and folders, not what types can be saved. Shadow Copy creates point-in-time copies for recovery, not enforcement of file-type rules. So the feature that enables specifying allowed or blocked file types on Windows volumes or folders is File Screening.
