Windows 7 Disk configuration usage tips to improve disk usage

Usually when you use the WIN7 operating system, when you right-click on the disk "properties" you will see that there is a "quota" option, some users may never think of what this is, in fact, this function is very practical, if a computer has more than one user to use, then you can randomly to put things on the local disk, There may be some used up will not be used again or some garbage files and so on. Over time, the local disk space will be less and less, until full, greatly reduce the efficiency of the disk. If you do not want other users to casually put things on the local disk, you can use the "quota" to manage, so that other users can use the space value, so as to avoid the waste of disk space, greatly improve the utilization of the disk. Next I would like to introduce you to the use of quotas. Steps:

1. Open the "Computer" right key to a disk that needs to be made quota "properties", as shown in the following figure:

2. Click "Enable quota management" and "Deny disk space to users exceeding quota limit", and careful friends will find that the next "warning Level" option in the "Disk space limit" option, after setting, when the user is using disk space in the process of exceeding the warning level size, The user is prompted for the file to exceed the warning level in disk quotas. The following figure:

All the quota options are now available. Then select the disk space limit option, where we can specify the amount of disk space the user is using in the system. Here I set the quota for a local user named Jack to 1GB. This way if a user passes in a partition with a file greater than 1GB, the file is rejected by the system and cannot be successfully passed into the partition. First, click on "Quota Entry", enter Jack user, click OK

The following figure:

When you have completed these configuration options, click the "OK" button in the window to exit, Jack can only go to the disk in less than 1GB of things, when the jack user log on the disk space will be displayed in this state, as shown in figure:

There's only 1GB of space, and now I'm going to put something beyond the space to see what it looks like:

The result system will refuse to put the file inside, so that the successful block file into the disk, that some people will ask, the previous saved files will not be lost? Of course not, the file inside will not be released changes, can be used normally. Disk Cleanup This option just lets you clean up the junk file.

3. Users, including those in the Administrators group, cannot deposit files larger than the quota. Next I use a member of the Administrators group user login, the quota set to 8KB, the following figure:

Can see or be rejected, and some people want to ask, is not everyone can arbitrarily change the quota, then this quota is not a nominal ah? Of course not, only members of the Administrators group have permission to set quotas, for example, I use Jack users who are not in the Administrators group to change the following figure:

You are prompted to enter the administrator's password. So not all users can arbitrarily change the quota.

Well, the use of quotas to introduce to everyone here, we may wish to try, this to improve the use of computer disk space efficiency is very useful, reasonable planning, to avoid the waste of resources, have to say that Microsoft has for everyone to think very thoughtful!
