Default re Turn off Low Disk Space warning on 1 drive only?

I couldn't find anything after a search to change the
notification for individual drives (all or nothing I
guess) but you could change the percentage for the alert
until you find the answer. Sorry I couldn't be of any real
assistance.

Hard Disk Free Space Notification - Altering the Warning
By default Windows sends an administrative alert when the
amount of free space remaining on a hard disk drive falls
below 10 percent. This percentage can be configured using
this setting.

Open your registry and find the key below.

System Key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Lanma
nServer\
Parameters]

Create a new DWORD value called "DiskSpaceThreshold" and
set it to the percentage of free disk space remaining
before an alert is sent.
Value Name: DiskSpaceThreshold
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: 0 - 99 percent (Default is 10)

Restart Windows for the change to take effect.

-----Original Message-----
I've got a FAT16 partition that's strictly used for a
constant-sized swapfile that comes as close to filling
the partition as possible.

Problem is, WinXP keeps giving me low disk space warnings
for this drive.

I know TweakUI can turn off all such messages -- but I
want to be notified if one of my other drives is pushing
empty.

There's a KB article (188074) that describes a registry
edit to turn off notifications on a drive-by-drive basis -
- but it's not working on XP.

Any ideas?
