How to remove 'Low Disk Space' warning
There is 'Low Disk Space' icon in Win XP tray (the right bottom of the
screen.). Occasionally pops up a small window saying "Low Disk Space, You are running out of space on Disk X Vol X (D. To free space ----". when actually I am not using this partition. I want to remove this feature from the tray. Can someone tell me how to eliminate or disable this feature? Thanks. |

Thanks. http://www.techrepublic.com/article/...-alert/5210496 if it's your restore partition by default it would be mostly full , so the warning should be safe to turn off |

How to remove 'Low Disk Space' warning
From Beyond X
Maybe I did not describe the problem clealy enough. My situation is as follows: My OS is Windows XP Pro with 4GB RAM and a 1.5 TB HDD is divided into two partitions--C and D. I use the so-called screen recorder/capture software which convert whatever is shown on computer screen such as video or you tube or just still images. The software is operated in C: (System parttion) and captured images are stored in a folder also in C:\ as .AVI or WM files. Recording usually lasts for one hour or so producing a 1 to 2 GB file. The partition D: is exclusively for storage and is not involved in the recording operation. When I am recording something, a small message window emerges from 'the Low Space' icon in the tray messing up the recorded images (everything in the monitor screen is recorded.) I do not know what triggers it whereas the D partition is not being involved in the operation. My bold conjecture is that maybe the recording software stores some temporary files in D: before it finalizes them into video file. However Windows XP Home does not have such an icon in its tray, so I do not believe that the Low Disk Space warning is an essential part of Win XP. I am asking which file of the XP Pro system controls this feature. Or what is determining the way to put icons in the tray? Thanks again for any help. |

: snip I'm too lazy to read all of it. But read the following anyway ;-} 1. There is a disabler for all pop-ops for low space warnings in TweakUI, IIRC, and if not, Google for "disable balloon notification" and "low disk space" - SOME page will have something that addresses this combination, if the posters who already posted have not posted what you needed to have posted. or 2. You almost certainly have a setting in your bigass video software for "temp" and such files, and they are probably SUPPOSED to be on OTHER partitions. You DO have other partitions, I am assuming; you mentioned D, so at least you are not a moron running a C only machine. It may be that this setting is buggy or that you need to re- assign the temp/whatever drives) perhaps every time a new project is started) so the software is happy. I have had similar problems with CoolEditPro, I have to reinstall it ***every*** time I restore an Acronis image because I am caught in the loop of "not enough free space on X drive" and *inability* to SET the damn free space. No big deal. HTH. -- What if a demon were to creep after you one night, in your loneliest loneliness, and say, 'This life which you live must be lived by you once again and innumerable times more; and every pain and joy and thought and sigh must come again to you, all in the same sequence. The eternal hourglass will again and again be turned and you with it, dust of the dust!' Would you throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse that demon? Or would you answer, 'Never have I heard anything more divine'? Friedrich Nietzsche |
