In SBS 2003 one User Account Can't Save "The disk you were saving to or the disk used for temporary files is full" error

I'm working in an SBS 2003 server enviornment.   Suddenly, one of my users can no longer save to the shared drive on the server and began getting the error: "The disk you were saving to or the disk used for temporary files is full. Free some space on this disk and try again. Or save to a different disk"  I logged in to the server as administrator, and within the user's account in the "Server Management Console" I accessed the user's account, and within the "Exchange General" tab I went into the "storage limits" sub window and unchecked the "use mailbox storage defaults."  I assume this only deals with email, so I went into SBS 2003 help and it indicated to modify user storage quotas I would have to right click on the volume that the user was saving to, select properties, and then I would see a "Quota" tab.  There is no such tab in the properties window, and there is nothing even resembling it.  How the heck can I change the user's storage quota? I assume that is the problem, since this only affects one user, and no matter which computer terminal she logs in from, she gets this error

As per my original question, when I right click on the drive and go into properties, I don't see any quota tab.  My drive is not anywhere near full.  It has about 100 gig still free.  Again this is only one user being affected.
Thanks Mr. Manderson! I re-read what you advised and realized that I was right clicking on the public folder instead of the drive in which it resides.  When I clicked on the drive and went to properties, I was able to find the quota tab and increase the quota!  
Compare Group Memberships with users that can successfully save to the Shared Drive, there might be something different. You can see memberships of a particular user in its prperties under the "Member Of" tab.
If the volume is not formatted with the NTFS file system, or if you are not a member of the Administrators group, the Quota tab is not displayed in the volume's Properties dialog box.

Please take a look at the following article.
