I would LIKE to know if it is possible to do the following:

1. Set the Document and User setting folders to another partition of the HDD so that C: can be reserved entirely for important software such as the E-mail client, Windows XP, Anti-virus scanner, etc.
-- To prevent users from storing FILES there automatically.

2. Have multiple users use the same partition, yet only be able to see their own files by assigning a limited amount of Hard Disk Drive space to their accounts


Should this be possible, how do I go about doing so?

Raptor........ I'm thinking about question 1 ......
#2 ......If you CREATE a new user account for various users, they can be customized as the user wishes based on what the system administrator wishes them to be able to access .....For example ...they may have their own desktop wallpaper and screen saver, shortcut icons etc. They may have access to for example M/S word .........but would only be able to access their own word documents as opposed to any or all that were in use by other users ........

I'm not sure this is what you were inquiring about , but I think it is ....

Here's some info on the size of the users disk space .....

dl65  Raptor.....Re the Email .....question ( #1) If the user account had its own unique E mail address associated with it , I would think that this Email would be accessable to only them after they entered their own user password to get them into that e mail account ......
However as it would be tied to the mail program .....ie Outlook express or whatever ....
Does this make sense to you ?

cheers

dl65  Question #1 was not related to E-mail alone, but to the entire My Document and Settings folder. It has to be moved from C:\ to D:\ and still function.

I do not think that simply pressing CTRL + X will do since it will not change the path where Windows will look when referring to My Documents and thus it would result in a malfunctioning My Documents and Settings folder..

As for Question #2, it is not difficult to create a new user account. It immediatly allows them to customize their desktop and yet use the same programs but with different settings. However, what if I wish for them only to see a limited amount of Hard Disk space that has been assigned to only the user that is currently LOGGED in?Raptor...... Doesnt this info spell that out ?

Does indeed more or less answer Question #2. However, the situation is different. I would not mind the amount of Hard Disk space they use, as I would only ASSIGN them a limited amount. Also, in regards to privacy, Enabling Disk quota's does not seem to fulfill my needs in that area.Raptor ......Duh.......the light just went on .......Documents and settings are a function of Win Xp and I think must reside on the same drive as the O/S ....
Perhaps Computer_Commando may be able to give you a better answer ....( you know how technically challenged I am ...LOL )
