How to disable "low drive space" warning?

[Jon Davis]

I have a drive partition designated for swap space on my Windows Server 2003
machine (also did this in XP). I was wondering if there was a way to disable
the "low drive space" pop-up / notification that keeps coming up? And if so,
if it can be done only on this drive?

You can try this link

or use Tweak UI, It's under Taskbar.
I don't if it can be done in just one drive

TweakUI for XP has a control (Taskbar and Start Menu section) to turn
the warning off, AFAIK this is global and cannot be a specific drive
only.

BTW I would regard a separate partition for swap space as a bad idea.
Two reasons; one it is either going to run into the danger of being too
small, or else is likely to be grossly too big; the other is that it is
almost bound to increase seek times in getting to the file; and seek
time is overwhelmingly the slowest part of hard disk access. XP has
made changes in how page file is handled, compared with 2000 - have a
look at my page www.aumha.org/win5/a/xpvm.htm
