XP Quotas

 < Day Day Up > 



Windows XP Professional has a built-in quota system that limits the amount of storage a user can have on an NTFS volume. When a user exceeds the preset limit, that individual or the administrator or both are notified. Alternatively, the limit can be set so the file cannot be saved until other material is deleted (be aware, though, that this option might not be popular with users). This utility is accessed through My Computer: select a drive and click on File, then Properties. Basically, it alerts users who are starting to fill up their disks and places limits on disk usage per user. This feature should be more than enough for a home or mobile user. Like other disk and file management tools in XP Pro, XP Quotas may be adequate for simple quota management of a few users but lacks enterprise functionality. For something better, try Storage-CeNTral by Precise/W. Quinn Associates, Inc. (Reston, Virginia; www.wquinn.com).
