I need to stop the Low Disk Warning in XP (keeps popping up from the taskbar
near the clock). How can I do it? Thanks

- Uninstall unused software.
- Move your data files onto removable media.
- Get bigger or more hard disks.
- Add more system RAM and decrease the size of the pagefile.
- Empty out the Recycle Bin and lower its size (it can't use more than
4GB despite the slider's setting but even that is probably way more than
you need).
- Use utlities like DiskPie from PC Mag or TreeSize Free from
jam-software.com to see where the largest files are consuming up your
disk space. Decide if you need them, if they can be deleted, or if they
can be moved off the hard disk(s) onto removable media.
- Save any downloads, like for program installs, onto removable media
instead on your hard disk(s).
