I have a question about Turn Off the Low Disk Space Warning:

I followed both options for 98 in the above article. But I am still getting a Hard drive is full, You have run out of disk space on drive C. Without downloading the space control utility mentioned is there any way I can disable this anoying warning?

I would like to know why you would like to turn it off.

Maybe you have almost filled the hard drive - and the system is having trouble writing 
files to the drive.  See if you can delete files (move them to another drive, write 
them onto a CDR or CDRW)

Kelly,

You should not let your free space get below 200-250 MB. Your system could crash, 
because Windows needs some breathing space.

Check out this page. He has a list of useless files and programs to get rid of and 
free up lots of space at the same time. He commented that he'd gotten an email from 
someone saying they freed up 1200 MB of space! In fact, I followed those instr. quite 
awhile back, and I know that it made a big difference from my own experience.

The drive has 1.45G free space left. The message was apearing as I was running a program called BC Wipe, it wipes already deleted data. As I was wipeing my unused drive space the error message telling me I have run out of hard drive space kept poping up. The reason I want to disable the message is it is becomeing anoying, as I use the Peter Guttman 35 wipe method for wipeing unused space, every time 1 wipe is completed I get the message.

Found several ways to do it.  First reference seems easiest.

You're assuming the disk generating the warnings contains the main Windows system! My machine has four disks, one of which is an old 2GB drive which I have deliberately crammed full of stuff for long-term storage, and every 5 minutes the damn warning comes up!

i have 3 gigs of space left on my computer and every 5 seconds the disk cleanup warning pops up, i want to install a program and the warning message automatically closes whatever im doing, it has really gotten annoying, i have even tried deleting files but i cant figure out why my 40 gig hard drive is full i only have around 18 gigs used up but it says 35 gigs are used up.
