Evil????


They're evil when they're not being descriptive.


Is there some way to just turn them off for a user?

Most of the process quotas exist to limit use of system resources that are
allocated on behalf of the user (for example, page dynamic memory or non-
paged pool) when some system service is called (mailbox creation or $QIO).



I know about the EXQUOTA privilege but that doesn't to help in Cory's case.

That's only for disk quota and it's generally an antiquated concept in the
age of terabyte spindles.
