Lately, when I configure and set up test computers, I use disks that I attach to the computers with 1394 and USB 2.0 connections. The disks I move between computers are usually almost completely full, and to my annoyance, Windows XP generates a persistent Low Disk Warning on the taskbar. Because I know that, for my purposes, disk capacity isn't a problem, I need a quick way to turn the warning off. To do so, I take the following steps:
1. Launch regedit.
2. Open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\
Policies\Explorer.
3. Add a new value of type REG_DWORD and name it NoLowDiskSpaceChecks.
4. Set the entry data value to 1.
