I think you are confusing *memory* and *disk space*. Memory, (*R*andom
*A*ccess *M*emory) loses it's content when the machine is turned off. Disk
Space on the other hand, does not. The answer is to use Disk Quotas (if you
are using XP Pro on NTFS file system) or but a bigger hard disc!

Sounds like he's already set the big quota for himself. See always enough
for him... Pulled a fast one on mom.
