There is a free Resource Kit called diruse that may help available in the
link below. You can use it as in [ diruse "c:\documents and
settings\betty" ] to find disk use of a users folder, Betty in this example,
you do not have permissions to. The \s switch will break it down by
subfolder and there are many other options. You also may want to check Group
Policy for ways to help manage your profiles. Look under both user and
computer configuration/administrative templates/system/user profiles for
options and be sure to read the FULL explanation of the setting and what
operating systems it applies to before implementing. If your domain
controllers are all Windows 2000 and you have XP Pro computers in the domain
you can take advantage of the extra Group Policy settings for XP Pro
computers by managing Group Policy for the domain from an XP Pro domain
computer while logged on as a domain admin. If you do such make sure that XP
Pro computer is secured from general user population. --- Steve
