My one image backup partition is rather large. I have two partitions

So now this stupid Disk Cleanup thing keeps popping up wanting me to,
well, clean it up. I've looked everywhere I can think of and can't
find any way to turn this off. Any way to do this?

Right click on desktop, choose properties, click desktop tab, click
Customize Desktop, take checkmark out of Run Desktop Cleanup Wizard?

It's not trying to cleanup the desktop. That's a different thing that
pops up every so often. This is trying to clean up my backup
partition cause it thinks it's too full and it's popping up every day,
at least once. Well, maybe when I reboot.

I should re-state that. It's not "popping up." It's putting itself
in the system tray, but it's still annoying.

I'm not sure what that is. Something Dell does to "add value"?
Hmmm.

I know... a bit of a slow response but I just now had time to get back
to this. It looks like a Windows thing, so I don't think you're
allowed to have the fun of blaming it on Dell. Besides it's always
more fun to blame things on Windows.



Or if you want to do it manually...but a larger disk!!!

Are you making a donation? It would help if I'd clean up the game
images I have building up. They seem paltry when you're doing them,
but they add up.


No, I meant: Open the Registry Editor and find the key,
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer.

Find the value called NoLowDiskSpaceChecks value. If it's not there
you'll have to create a new DWORD value with that name. Set the value to
be 1. I think you'll have to reboot for it to take effect.

This actually did work, or so it seems. I only tried this a couple of
days ago. I never saw the clean-up thing very often and now that I
think about it, I think it was on booting up, and I've gotten lazy
about actually rebooting. But I haven't seen it since.

First time I've ever created something in the registry. Isn't that
scary?

ooooooo... and what else floats on water?

Er, I mean, ooooooo.... power!!

So thanks (once again). You'll see my newest question soon. But if I
didn't ask questions, you'd get bored.
