Win XP/pro 'my safe'

Is "My Safe" a folder you named it, also is this on a network, if so is it a network drive?
You can Try enabling Quota management on the drive you are using.
if you are just running out of room on your drive try deleting unused items.

I've never heard of a "My Safe" folder? I sure don't have one.
The only ways I know to increase disk space on any OS are:
- Empty the Recycle Bin.
- Delete files you don't need any more.
- Compress files (or the file system if it supports it).
- Change the partition size (if your drive is partitioned) using something like Partition Magic.
- Get a bigger hard drive.

Hi. 'My safe' is a secured folder in my C:\ drive that can only be accessed by the fingerprint reader or a 13 character password.I cannot find how to increase the disc space in this folder. It is in a Toshiba P100ST9712 satellite running winxp\Pro. I do not know how much disc space is in it or what is the limit. Thanks to all who tried to help.
Hi Alronkay:
I have done some research and have found there is no way to really increase a folders size due to the fact the folders dynamically increase as you save more things into it. Were you getting any error messages? If so place the message in the code field of your reply "[c]"Code Here"[/c]

@c2rich
A little off topic, but the tags for code are actually [ignore]
[/ignore]
Having :
[ignore]
[/ignore]
will yield:
Now, how I got it to ignore the code tags in the example, you'll have to find out for yourself.

Ignorance is not necessarily Bliss, case in point:
Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.
