How can I edit the file size for different users? In
windows xp. some run slower than others. (I am the
administrator, and I have less memory than other users.)
Is there a way to correct or change

you want to limit the amount of data each user may store on the machine? if
so, you can do this via the use of disk quotas. to enable quotas,
right-click a disk partition and select properties, then, in the 'quotas'
tab, check "enable quota management" and "deny disk space to users exceeding
quota limit" - if you do not check the second box, then users will be able
to add data above their quota limit up to the capacity of the partition. on
this tab you can set the default warning and quota levels and, by clicking
the 'quota entries' button, you can assign different quotas to each user.
remember, though, the built-in disk quotas allows you to set quotas on a
per-partition and per-user basis; you cannot set quotas on folders or on
groups. windows help and the ms kb will have more detailed info if you need
it.
