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

I've made that registry change months ago but still get low disk space warnings when I drop below 100 mb on my e:\ drive. Is there anyway to permanently get rid of these annoying messages? Thanks!

Buy a bigger hard drive. The warnings are provided for a reason. Don't wait until you can't even boot up.

very funny. The e:\ drive is not the boot disk and since it is already 100 gigs no use in buying another drive. Once i sort through the junk downloads and free up space I will have a new drive :) In the meantime I, like many others who have asked the question, don't want to see those messages if possible. So if there is another way to turn off the messages please share it. Thanks

I'm annoyed by this message as well. I have a partition only used for a swap file, and it's annoying that I can't use the whole partition for it.

But if I dont need any free space? I use to have a disk for the pagefile, and on that disk i dont need any free space. Why should I have to make the disk to big? /Pelle

Found this on another site. Added it to my registry with regedit and it worked! Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer Name: NoLowDiskSpaceChecks Type: REG_DWORD Value: 1 disables alerts

I just bought a 120gb hard drive external, I want to back up my music and photo collection, but I keep getting the low disk space error even though I have plenty of disk space. Tried the reg key and it did not work.

I have the same problem "Low disk space on O:" this is on my second hard drive. It's not a system drive, I just use it for backup storage, but I keep getting the error.
