Introduction to Low Disk Space Notification
If you find 'Low Disk Notification' errors are getting on your nerves, then
it is obviously best to empty the Recycle Bin and delete temporary files, however
if all else fails and the message is driving you mad there is a Registry Hack.
The Low Disk Space Notification setting is designed for XP, works but is untested on W2K
Professional.
The best executable to hack the registry is Regedit.exe. Go to the
START (Button), RUN, REGEDIT (Type), OK (Button). The Windows 2003
version remembers the last place you visited which is useful if you use Regedit
often.
If you are still not sure how to start Regedit,
click here.
If you wish to disable the low disk space notification messages:
1) Run Regedit
2) Navigate to:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
3) From the Edit menu, select New, DWORD Value.
4) Type NoLowDiskSpaceChecks, and then press ENTER.
5) On the Edit menu, click Modify. Type 1 (Numeric one)
Alternatively, here is .Reg file that will create the DWORD for you.
Registry Learning Points
Note 1: This a rare job for the HKCurrent_User, mostly registry
changes are HKLM.
Trap : This a DWORD - not a String value
Guess : What a value of 0 (zero) would achieve? - Answer: Turn
this value off, revert to the default where you will be notified.

Recommends: The Free Config Generator
Solarwinds' Config Generator is a free tool, which puts you in charge of
controlling changes to network routers and other SNMP devices.

you've already paid for.
Guy says that for newbies the biggest benefit of this free tool is that
it will provide the impetus for you to learn more about configuring the SNMP
service with its 'Traps' and 'Communities'.

Summary
Low Disk Space Notification can be a pain. If you have tried
everything else then go to the registry and add a DWORD NoLowDiskSpaceChecks.
Or download a .Reg file that will
create the DWORD for you.
Guy Recommends: SolarWinds Engineer's Toolset v10
This Engineer's Toolset v10 provides a comprehensive console of utilities
for troubleshooting computer problems. Guy says it helps me
monitor what's occurring on the network, and each tool teaches me more about how the
underlying system operates.
There are so many good gadgets; it's like having free rein of a
sweetshop. Thankfully the utilities are displayed logically: monitoring, discovery, diagnostic, and Cisco tools.
