Do you know how to turn off the feature of Windows XP (and ME and 98) that shoes "Low disk space"? I find it annoying and it hangs some games.... Do you know a solution....

I found a program that did it for me, but I don't remember where I got it....

Windows XP

Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE).
Open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Policies\ Explorer.
If it's not there, create a DWORD value and call it NoLowDiskSpaceChecks.
Double-click on NoLowDiskSpaceChecks, and enter the value 1, and press OK.

Windows 98 (solution 1)

Open the Disk Cleanup utility (run cleanmgr.exe, or go to Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Disk Cleanup).
Select the drive on which Windows is installed and click Ok.
Choose the Settings tab, and turn off the If this drive runs low on disk space, automatically
run Disk Cleanup option
Click Ok when you're done - answer any subsequent prompts as desired.
You may have to repeat this for all your hard disks (if you have more than one).

Windows 98 (solution 2)

Try this article from Microsoft: Q188074.
It's much more of a pain than solution 1, but it might work if solution 1 doesn't.
To control the low-disk space threshhold
Obtain and install the Space Control utility.

This should fix i got it from the site Annoyances.org!

Customizer xp, tweak xp and such programs can do it too.
