Windows XP and Tweak UI - Stop Warning Of Low Disk Space on the Taskbar

SUMMARY: Prevent Windows XP from displaying balloon help whenever a hard drive is about to run out of space.

If you are logged into your Windows XP system as an Administrator, if your disk space starts to run low, a warning will be displayed as a popup balloon on your Taskbar. In case you are not able to monitor your free space constantly, this warning might keep you from completely filling up your hard drive, rendering your computer unusable.

If for some reason you do not wish to receive this warning on your Taskbar, make the following tweak with Tweak UI:

1. Download and run Tweak UI for Windows XP.

2. Click "Taskbar and Start Menu" in the left pane.

3. Uncheck "Warn when low on disk space".

4. Click "OK" to close the Tweak UI dialog box.

5. You will need to logoff and back onto your system.
