Internet and Disk Quota in Vista Home Premium

[Guest]

Hello all,
I'm currently running Windows Vista Home Premium and have 3 sons that I wish
to place internet quotas on. I've only been able to find programs that place
quotas at a server level which don't seem to be what I'm after. I want to
create profiles for the sons in Vista andthen apply quotas (net and disk)
from the admin account. Can someone please tell me if this is even possible
and if so, what I need to make this happen??

Thanks in advance

Thanx brink...will this enable me to set internet quotas as well like say, 3
gigs a month of allowance??

Disk quotas are typically used for server disk storage, to prevent
users from hogging space. Here's a description of one method for
controlling local user storage.

A google search should turn up more.

What do you want to do with internet quotas? Have internet connectivity
shut down when a certain transfer level is exceeded? I don't believe
that's possible without third-party applications.

Thanx Nil..I've got my head around the disk quota part but if a third party
app is required for internet quota, does anyone know of one that will work
with profiles in Vista?

Thanx brink...tried that program but didn't work unfortunately I think it
has to be installed on a proxy server and not directly on the local machine
for it to work...does anyone else have any ideas?

PS. The quota tute was easy to follow!!
