How can I stop "low disk space" warning?

This warning drives me mad. I pops up, telling me disk space is low on
one of my partitions. OK, thanks. Then a few minutes later it pops up
agian. I have to stop what I'm doing and dismiss it because it covers
part of my work. Then every few minutes I have to deal with it. I know
my disk is full. I'll deal with it later, like when I want to. Bill
Gates is killing me.

Please help, if you know how to stop this maddening thing.

Turn off the low disk space notification: Start regedit, expand
HKEY_CURRENT_USER and in Software - Microsoft - Windows - CurrentVersion -
Policies - Explorer, and set the value of NoLowDiskSpaceChecks to DWORD = 1.
