The low disk space pop-up has been happening for the last 2 weeks, and it's been super annoying. I click on it, and it goes away until the next restart. How do I stop it from coming back up again? I mean I know that my Music folder only has 15.7MB left but there is NOTHING I can erase on that drive. Fixed 31/8/12, I went to the taskbar options, and changed it back to stock, and told it to hide the icon and to stop the notifications. Hmm. Didn't think it would be so simple, lmao. I have to get used to the old standard layout, but it's the price to pay to make this shut up.

You pretty much can't. Try making backups on MediaFire. OFF-TOPIC: OmegleSpyX? Seriously? lol There's nothing wrong with OmegleSpyX. Isn't there some sort of setting to disable that? I don't think so. Try Google? http://goo.gl/2jXhD None of them work. I tried the first 4 options (excluding the one that said Vista). Backup your registry, then try the Vista option. You'd be shocked at how much still works across recent Windows Versions. I'll do that. |

I got it! don't fill up your hard drive so full! I'm glad I'm getting a computer engineering degree now. but really, to clean up your HD perhaps do a clean disk under start > accessories > system tools. or there is this link here: http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article03-102 If only I could. That music folder is filled with popular music that backs up onto my SD Card. It asks me to do a clean up, but there is nothing to clean. I'll check up on that link. Congrats on your degree. |

Repartition the drive, shrink Local Disk C, and and expand Music E, it just takes a while to do it It can't be done, I did try to do that, but it's blocked for some reason. Oh wow, on my laptop which has been screwed up since last year I finally reinstalled windows and I've had to play with partitioning so I didn't lose the original installation until I too my files off, wow that sucks though, that its blocked http://i.imgur.com/Vkl1O.jpg, proof that it actually is blocked, I mean even if I did partition off maybe 1GB, I couldn't add it to Music I or Music II. First you have to shrink your larger volume, by say 1gb, then you extend your music 1 volume by that 1 gb of now unallocated space http://i.imgur.com/c7viq.png, I did try that on the above comment, and it didn't work. Tried it again, still. The order its in is the order its got to stay, you've got to expand music 2, then shrink it, and then expand music 1, I don't understand why windows makes it so difficult to partition

open notepad, then paste this in it Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "NoLowDiskSpaceChecks"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\Gathering Manager] "BackOffLowDiskThresholdMB"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\Gather] "LowDiskMinimumMBytes"=dword:00000000 after that, save it as, then select all files, then give it any name with a .reg at then end, then run the file.
Nope, I thought it worked when I restarted but it surely came up 15 minutes later. hmm, if that doesn't work then you can try this one http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/disable-low-disk-space-notification-alert-in-windows-7-vista/ the above method should have changed the warning to only come up when you have 0MB of free space http://i.imgur.com/wHCcI.png, I couldn't even get to the last place, it's not even on here. |

E: is the drive in question. The boot drive is C: got plenty of space there, and E: is the overflow of the Music I partition.
I take it the Vista tweaks didn't work. I'd just say to put up with it until you can either re-partition or you get a newer drive. After all, 15.7 MB is what? Maybe an album's worth of music? Annoying as it is, Windows kinda has a point :p Nope, they didn't disable it. Well I can, but I hate that it keeps popping up, even if I'm watching a movie on full-screen, the pop-up halts it. Nah, an album is usually 100MB+ at 320kbps. Yeah, Windows has a point, but if it knows that I already acknowledged that I have so little space on that drive, they should have an option that says don't pop up again. Well I usually listen to FLAC so I'm not really aware of a lot of the formats/how they compress down the file, I'm kinda stuck in my ways I guess. And Yeah you make a good point, you've acknowledged it so it should at least offer you the choice. http://i.imgur.com/nVTgS.jpg, I just downloaded FaithSFX's mixtape, and it was as I expected around 100MB+ of MP3's, lmao. Are FLAC's higher in size because they're not compressed? Yeah they can get pretty big, but as long as you have good speakers you can definitely tell the difference (or at least I think so) |

That trick above doesn't work on Windows 8 Enterprise, that pop-up keeps interupting me while I'm watching anything, even full-screen video. |
