Good point. I can spew hundreds of megabytes into an ADS stream an it won't show up as being used (by me or any other user). Frank Heyne wrote one of several available utils for listing ADS streams (http://www.heysoft.de/) IIRC the utility's called LADS. Query your favorite search engine for "Alternate Data Streams" and you can find other utils to do this. If you're programmatically inclined, query the $MFT file directly. ------------------------------------------------- Curtis Anderson, CNE, MCSE ISM Manitoba - an IBM Global Services team member candersoat_private andersocat_private ------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Sarkos Georgios Subject: Re: Disk (over)quota in Windows 2000 How about using ads (NTFS only) ? Our university uses quotas (NT 4.0) and I bypass them quite easy. In fact with the use of ads you may also do other things eg hide viruses .
