Low Disk Warning
I have my HD partitioned to three partitions. The first, C, is used as a swap file and is 1052MB. I've got the page file set to 1000MB.
I'm getting a really irritating popup balloon every few minutes telling me that the space on C is low, there's around 50MB left. Now I know it's low but I don't give two hoots as I only use this partition for the page file.
Is it possible to disable this warning balloon? I'm using XP Pro
Thanks in advance

If you know how to edit the Registry, you can change the value of this using regedt32.exe:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Name: NoLowDiskSpaceChecks
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1 disables alerts
If you don't feel comfortable editing the registry, then try using TweakUI for XP.

What are you doing to fill a 1GB page file?
