How do I get rid of "Low Disk Space" warning?

[Guest]

Hi,


I have a partition that I only use for MP3 files, it's almost full (60 MB of
free space). Every now and then (but annoyingly often) I get the message "Low
Disk Space" in the system tray. Clicking on it opens Disk Cleanup. Does
anybody know how to change the setting for this warning?


Thanks,

Wouter

One way is to move them to a larger partition..

Windows XP

Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE).
Open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\
Policies\ Explorer.
If it's not there, create a DWORD value and call it NoLowDiskSpaceChecks.
Double-click on NoLowDiskSpaceChecks, and enter the value 1, and press OK.

Haha! Yes, that's a fool-proof solution, but unfortunately I don't have more
space, I have to make do with a total of 15 GB...

If you remove any warning, you may forget that the situation is bad, and
could lose all of your files in the partition.. the warning is not there to
annoy you..

Get a larger or secondary drive and place your music files on it..
