Low Disk Space Notification

Ok, this is kind of a dumb question, but where is that option that lets you disable the little notification from that Disk Cleanup program when there is a low amount of disk space? I remember a check box somewhere labeled "Notify me when this disk runs low on space", or something like that, but I can't find it anywhere!

Thanks.

You don't get a screen with 3 tabs:

Low on disk space is one of the most irratating features MS has come out with. Its one small reason few people like or trust MS.

I found this for Windows XP... Dunno if it works with Windows ME.

The Windows 98 solution doesn't specify if the number for the drive is supposed to be entered as Hexadecimal or as Decimal.

Believe it or not the fix for XP works on ME where the fix for Windows 98 or ME do not. The reason I want to get rid of the annoying Low Disk Space warning is I use a program called Eraser 2000 which when run triggers the Low Warning....which keeps keeps keeps coming up. I bet that warning never comes up on Bill Gates computer.........but then he is probably running Linux or OS/X on his personal computers.

I have a 1 GB partition for the Swap file (that I set to 1 GB) so it keeps complaining that the partition is full.

Hey Burbble that is one big swap file. Do you have it set for minimum 1-gig and maximum 1-gig. I have my swap or pagefile set for a max of 500 megs which seems to be big enough for my needs.
On a normal boot my system swap would never get that big, but I dont leave my computer on 24\7 like some people.

I leave it set to 1 GB minimum and maximum so it doesn't change the size.

I've got plenty of hard disk space & I do some video editting so I made the swap file really big :)
