limit disk usage

This might be a weird question, but, I was wondering if there is a way to limit a users disk usage?

I just recently started to share a computer with a roommate and ever since I've been having issues. I have received two viruses because he downloads everything! So I decided to give him his own user account without admin. rights. Well, that worked to solve the download/virus issues. Then I noticed he had over 3 GB of music on the computer under his user account. Well, that's a lot of unnecessary space usage on my poor little laptop! I have talked to him about it, but I doubt it will stop him. So, I was wondering if I could just limit the amount of space he can use?

**Oh by the way I have XP Pro
