This video will show you how to create a registry key in your registry that will disable a non essential background process running in your computer’s operating system. Windows Vista, like the other operating systems, always polls your computer’s hard drive to check the amount of disk space that is left on it. If it reaches a certain percentage quota, it will begin to notify you, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again that your hard drive is low on disk space. If you are like me, you don’t like windows notifying you about such things… lets disable this pesky rascal.
Registry Location:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Policies
Registry Key:
NoLowDiskSpaceChecks (DWORD 32-Bit)
Desired Value:
1
