SUMMARY

This article describes how to disable the low disk space notification feature in Windows 98 for specific drives.

MORE INFORMATION

In certain situations, such as a computer with compressed drives, Windows 98 may repeatedly warn you that a host drive is low on disk space. Because there may be no unnecessary files on the host drive to delete, you may receive this message multiple times every day. For example, if drive C was compressed in place, you may receive messages stating that drive H (the host drive) is running low on disk space.

To disable low disk space notification for a specific drive:

  1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Disk Cleanup.
  2. In the Drives box, click the drive for which you want to disable low disk space notification, and then click OK.
  3. Click the Settings tab.
  4. Click to clear the "If this drive runs low on disk space, automatically run Disk Cleanup" check box, and then click OK.
  5. When you are prompted "Are you sure you want to delete files," click No.

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
