Setting Size limits on mapped virtual drives

[Gary Miles]

I have recently upgraded to XP Pro with four computers at
home on a network. It all works well except:
I would like to be able to limit the amount of real drive
space that any one user can "eat" up in their mapped
personal virtual network drives. Can someone point me
towards some reading material that will show me how to do
this please?

I don't think anything will do this natively - there's user quota management
possible on a domain, but I don't think a workgroup gives you that option.
Might want to google for third party apps.

There is a quota tab on the disk properties. I haven't used it, but I
assume it works in XP Pro stand-alone. I would expect it would work for
shared disks, but must be set on the computer that shares the disk.
