How do I turn off the "low disk space" on my computer with Windows Vista OS?

Hi Rosa,

This tutorial will show you how to Enable or Disable the "Low Disk Space Warning" 
in Vista.  Be warned, if you run out of space, you can lose all your data on it.

Yeh I think it's time to start moving saved data (i.e. mp3s, documents, pictures, 
etc.) to an external hard drive.
Besides, doing that will keep them safe in case of a PC crash.
Rule of thumb: 
If your PCs hard drive starts filling up beyond half full, it's time to remove the 
saved data or upgrade to a larger drive.
If it's actually installed programs filling up the hard drive, then the only recourse 
is to upgrade to a larger hard drive.

Good luck!

Has anyone enountered this issue on an HP machine (or Dell, I think they do this too) where WinVista gives a low disk space warning on the recovery partition of the hard drive? Name brand manufacturers seem to put recovery partitions on hard drives as the D: drive now instead of giving you the WinVista disks (which is absolutely useless if your hard drive physically fails = no backup media, but I digress).


On a PC at work one user is constantly getting the low disk space warning on the D: drive (recovery partition). I'd love to turn this off, but I get "Access Denied" when I try the methods at http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html and at http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67600-low-disk-space-warning-vista.html Anything I'm overlooking? Is there another method with recovery partitions?
