Currently I have user with a 'Profile Storage Space ' of 30000kb on the C:Drive.. The C:Drive itself has about 100gb free but the user can't have his profile size increased..

Just to let you guys know, any personal/unshared files would be saved onto his personal F:drive with 100gb free space..

The issues my user is having when installing and using Firefox it installs fine as it saves onto his C:Drive but then when you launch Firefox it saves some cache settings etc in C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Mozilla (which is part of his profile space) and hence he gets a message your Profile Space has exceeded and delete items or else you can't logout..

So I delete this folder, run firefox again and it again imports 'something' and back to the same issue..

How can I map it so it saves this info into another location, maybe his F:Drive?

All help much appreciated..
