I am looking to automatically run disk cleanup when there is less than 10% of hard drive space available. Not sure what the best way to implement this is, so i was thinking if I could use the same code that checks for low disk space, that may be the way to go. I am looking to see whether it is even possible to change the amount of disk space that the alert triggers on. Any ideas?
Thx,
Jon

Description of the Low Disk Space Notification in Windows XP
(and how to turn it off)

Thanks, but I already read that article. That shows you how to turn it on/off. What I would like to do is change the thresholds to be greater than the 200MB, etc...
Then, once zi change that threshold, I would like to schedule Disk Cleanup to run if that new threshold is reached. Disk Space cleanup allows me to schedule daily, weekly, monthly, etc... I would like to get it to run automatically when the disk space hits that new threshold that I put in.

You really should consider fixing the problem, rather than a work-around.
Add a second drive, if a desktop.
Install a larger drive if a laptop.

That is tough, as these are for servers that generate huge log & temp files based on web traffic. No way to turn them off. Just clean up every now and then...
