5. Check Include registry in file list.

6. Check Notify user when profile storage space is exceeded, if you don't want to wait until logoff for notificiation.

NOTE: The user will not be able to logoff until their profile is under the quota.

NOTE: Delete and move the Temporary Internet Files (and History).
