Nice tutorial Soleimanian, I never knew you could actually disable the low disc space warning in Windows XP. Wana add some words to what you said...

 

First and foremost, like you said in there, messing around with your windows registry editor without really knowing what you are doing in there can cause serious damages to your operating system and, maybe subsequent reformating of your PC

 

What does that tell us, you dont tamper with regedit if u dont know how to use it. By the way, I wonder why anyone might wanna disable the low disk space warning. Who want to allow his Hard disc to fill to the brim without being alerted t take the necessary precautions. I know I pesonally wont try dat though.

 

U can never tell though. I know that for some reason or the other, people might want to dabble into doing something like that in their PCs, but it aint advisable to try that on your computer.
