Didn't know you could go from there. It seems slightly simpler from there I
think.
 
Thx!

diskmgmt.msc  from run menu right click on the drive you want to manage. 

How is that?

What I meant with chasing menus earlier, was that I normally access the quota
tool by first starting Windows Explorer, then right-clicking the drive-letter
I want to set the quota on. In the opened drive-prop's that pops up you click
the disk quota-tab and finally click the quota button on the bottom to see the
individual quotas, which is what is interesting .
 
I was hoping for a free stand-alone (gui) tool which would interface with the
built-in, without having to go through all the steps above.
 
If you think I'm tough to please because of this, well, then you're right. ;-)
 
CLI works fine too. Usually it's faster as well, and with Win2k8 Server and
Power shell coming soonish, I might as well brush up on my CLI-repertoire,
especially as I plan to use the Core-versions only!

Man, first you bitch about having to deal with clicking through menus, and
then you bitch about having nothing to click.  You're tough to please!

 

 You know I'm just kidding around I hope!  :]

GUI would be nicer (overview) but the CLI has its charm as well. Thx Jim!

Hey guys,

What kind of disk quota tools to you use? I don't mind the one built-in in
Win2k3 Server, but I don't like chasing the menus to get to it...

Would you know of a shortcut, or a better (free) tool to use?

TIA.
