Anyone know how I can kill the popup I keep getting
telling me i’m low on disk space. (WinXP)
I know its low, I don’t need reminding :furious:
Want it gone :whiteflag: it taking up valuable CPU power :chuckle:
ummm, errr, not sure if this would work…
how about…
get a bigger disk?
/edit
failing that try http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article03-102
Nah I’d only fill it 
Can’t really justify it at the mo 
But on the serious side 
its kind of just the way it organised
most of my drive’s are partitioned at a min with 2 or more partitions
got 8 partitions over the drives excluding the resevered for Linux bit.
Some of those partitions are full, but what is on them I want to stay
not put stuff else where, I’m sure there is somewhere a setting but
I can’t remember where.
//edit Good find m8y 
You could (although not recommended) get rid of some of the virtual ram space on the Hard disk.
[b]Start -> Control Panel -> System
then click the “Advanced” tab and then Performance Settings.
Then under that click the “Advanced” tab and then under Virtual Memory click “Change”.[/b]
Dont lower it below the recommended settings. Best to get a new Hard Drive.
Maybe you missed my edit on the first post? Sorry, I was kinda taking the p.
Another one reference to the same thing is http://www.winxpfix.com/page21.htm#tip2
comes with a 10 second warranty 'cos I’ve never tried it myself
enjoy!
I have 2gb of ram don’t run a paging file :chuckle:
I went to research your problem, and came across this link…
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/itsolutions/howto/winxphow.mspx
…Under “Operate/Administer Performance”, they have a link that talks about changing some System Monitor (performance) counters. This one might control your disk monitor.
Its good to get rid of the popup, but the msg is telling you something important. Even if you dont plan on installing any new software on a machine, updates and cache and regular usage will eventually eat up what is left of the hard drive. If at all possible (and if getting a new HD is out of the question) find a small older drive to install as a second disk drive and offload some applications and storage to it. Copy music to it, or video. Even consider a flash drive (thumbdrive) for images or documents.
Nightlord sorted it with his answer 
There’s 5 drives in the machine and its not the boot drive causing the message.
Trust me I want it off :chuckle:
Oh, how I remember the problems we had on some computers running WinNT 4.0. Things had 10 GB hard drives in them, but the stupid company that supplied them shipped them with a 2 Gb primary partition. Got to the point where any new computer that came in, I’d take the hard drive out, slap it into a different machine remove the partitions and reformat it using the NTFS file system. Then stick it back into the orginal machine and reinstall every thing on it. The extra time spent doing this was worth it in the end. Stupid coworkers couldn’t comprehend installing software to a different drive instead of the defalut.
P51, sounds about right, we had a team of specialists1 that developed2 our standatd version of Win 2K to be deployed to all of the RAF, well, needless to say, it worked on their test network, and their test machines, but when deployed to a network of thousands of machines it sort of failed3 I spent all off the christmas holls two years ago4 re making it. They also in their wisdom5 decided to give us just a 4 Gb primary partition and expect us to install the rest of the software on the second partition. Oh yess this rule dosent apply to them when they roll out software to the machines via SMS and it installs itself to the C.
Oh and to top it all off, now we are looking6 at installing XP they have decided we need to have a single partition, which means we need to visit each machine to do the re-install as there is no way to get RIS to remove and or resize the partitions7
1 - idiots
2 - hacked about and broke
3 - wouldnt work at all
4 - oh yes cutting edge us
5 - dumbfounded stupidity
6 - We know how to do it, they are just getting paid for it
7 - *** *** ******!

How did you find that one Apex? 
By looking at my first post?
On another point, can I remove the pop up that tells me I have good, excellent, V good etc Wireless?
I don’t want to know when I go from bad to good. As long as it’s working I dont care.

is there not an optiuon in TweakUI (MS power tools) to disable balloon popups
Curly
Yeah.
For all thinks I believe. But I’ll give it a try. I’m not really a fan of the pop ups.
