Remove warning message for low disk space.

Windows will show a warning message, if the free disk space is 200MB or less. You can disable this warning with this setting.

Tweak for : Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows Vista

Description:

If the free disk space reaches 200 MB or less, Windows will show a warning message. If you perform a click on this, a Disk Cleanup Wizard will open that can clean your disk for old and unnecessary files etc. If you enable this setting, you won’t get any warning message.

For this, go to Start > Run menu, enter “regedit” and navigate to the registry path listed below. You can create a DWORD value “NoLowDiskSpaceChecks” in the right panel, if this value does not exist.

Now, right-click and modify its value to “1” which can disable the warning messages about a free disk space below 200MB. However, if you want to show the warning messages back, change the value to “0”.

The changes take effect after a restart or logoff.

NOTE:
When free disk space reaches 200 MB, you receive the warning message for 10 seconds, once per session. But when free disk space reaches 80 MB, you receive the warning message for 30 seconds, every four hours, twice per session. Finally, when free disk reaches 50 MB, you receive the following message for 30 seconds, every five minutes, until free space is above 50 MB.
