I’ve found a cure for exceeding my profile storage space. Didn’t work on campus but it’s solved the problem on my laptop. Paste this code into Notepad
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
“EnableProfileQuota”=-
“ProfileQuotaMessage”=-
“MaxProfileSize”=-
“IncludeRegInProQuota”=-
“WarnUser”=-
Save the file to the Desktop with the name undopolicy.reg and select All Files. Double click the Desktop icon and say Yes to add to Registry. Problem solved. I can now shut down with that horrendous bleeping noise and those irritating messages 🙂
One other technique I’ve found useful: in Windows Explorer, go to: Tools > Folder Options > View, then select ‘Show hidden files and folders’. I found some out-of-date temp files and old (corrupted?) auto-recovered documents on my desktop that I deleted.
Other than that, I’ve found it helps to clear your Java cache from time to time (there are a couple of tricks for doing this, but I’ve no idea whether they are sanctioned by ICT so I won’t recommend them!!!).
