Disk Space Warning On File Copy/Move
Anyone know if there's a registry key where this can be turned off?
It hinders me more than it helps! Not talking about the tray notification when overall disk space is low - I know that can be turned off... Not strictly a Windows 8 question (think this annoying behaviour started in Vista), but was hoping someone could help! Thanks :-) |

The one I want rid of is this: http://www.windows7taskforce.com/upl...ghSpaceMoc.jpg The page that image is hosted on gives one reason why this dialog is a pain in the butt, but there are others too! http://www.windows7taskforce.com/view/3200 S. |

Windows using the same engine/algorithm when checking for free disk space when monitoring the entire drive condition vs. file copying 2. Registry changes (adding new items) - if different engines/algorithms are used by Windows then registry changes may impact one or both Without knowing the above, it might be prudent to be hesitant at changing anything without first exporting the contents of a given/impacted registry key and knowing how to delete those 'added keys' - i.e. while recommendations can be helpful, its also unclear whether or not anyone actually implemented those registry changes for your exact problem (low disk space when copying files) -- ....winston msft mvp |
