Remove Vista disk back-up warning
Do the following when logged in as an Administrator in Windows Vista. Make sure to follow the instructions carefully as we will be editing the Registry!
Click on Start, type “REGEDIT” in the search box, and then hit the Enter key.
Regedit : This command will load the Registry Editor program.
Take great care in making only the changes described below. I will be telling you to locate “KEYS” in the registry. I am assuming this is your first time editing it so I will explain the quickest way to find the key.
Locate the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder under Computer and click on the (+) sign next the folder name to expand the folder. It will be on the left hand side and should be the second folder from the top.
Continue to expand folders by clicking the (+) sign, each time follow the tree path until you reach the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion registry key.
Find and Select the Policies key under CurrentVersion.
From the Registry Editor menu, choose Edit, ==> followed by New,==> followed finally by Key.
After the key is created beneath Policies, it will initially be named New Key #1.
Change the name of the key to Explorer by typing it exactly as shown and then hitting the Enter key.
With the new key, Explorer, still selected, choose Edit, followed by New, followed finally by DWORD (32-bit) Value.
After the DWORD is created beneath Explorer, it will initially be named New Value #1.
Change the name of the DWORD to NoLowDiskSpaceChecks by typing it exactly as shown and then hitting the Enter key.
Right-click on the new NoLowDiskSpaceChecks DWORD you just created and choose Modify.
In the Value data: field, replace the zero with the number 1.
Click OK and close Registry Editor.
Windows Vista will no longer warn you about low disk space on any of your hard drives!!!
Now this is a complex procedure for some people. I am assuming that you were hoping for a off click!, unfortunately this is the only way to change the setting
