Sometimes roaming profiles can be real pain, i.e. if you are running a software installation
across the network and the installer fills up your profile directory (for example java puts
alot of crap there). What you get is pop-up window coming up every few seconds notifying you
that you're out of quota, also you cannot shutdown your pc unless you clean up your
directory.
Here's my solution to "fix" this. You need to be a local administrator to be able to do
this.
1. Open windows explorer
2. Find file c:\windows\system32\proquota.exe
3. Right click on the file and go to Security->Advanced
4. Uncheck "Inherit from parent the permission entries ...", make sure you've removed all
permissions from this file
That's it, from now on proquota will not be able to execute and you won't have these annoying
pop ups *.
* this has been tested on Windows XP Pro SP2
