Every user has write priveleges to their home directory under Document and Settings/[username]. By default, there are no disk quotas so that is plenty of space on the hard drive.

well, see... one of my brothers plays warcraft 3. and in order to get on battle.net (a server which you play with other people online) you can have "download" these things, it says downloading blah blah on admin accounts, but on other accounts you're not allowed to play online. and if he plays a single player game and tries to save the game for later use, it doesnt save.
