| | hardrive allocation hi , my son uses my laptop to download music files ,video files and album artwork .This can take up a lot of disc space and i was wondering if it is possible to allocate a specific amount of storage space to his account if it is ,it would force him to transfer these files to a backup disc and then delete them instead of cluttering up my laptop with files that are finished with any help appreciated thanks -- martyb |

I am not sure if the home versions have it as well. http://techcx.blogspot.com/2007/06/s...ace-quota.html An alternative would be to make a small partition for your son's use and transfer his User Shell Folders there. ss. |
