When your system hard disk is running out of space, Windows Vista will pop up a small message indicating that there is less memory on your system. This pop-up message can come in handy but may even get annoying at a particular point of time. Aside from being annoying, Windows Vista's constant checking for low space uses system resources which slow down Windows. Hence here's a small registry tweak that can turn off the low disk space checks in Windows Vista.

o Click "Start", and type "regedit" in the search box, and then hit the "Enter" key.

o Browse to the "HKEY_ CU R RENT _ USER\Software\ Microsoft\Wi ndows\C u rre ntVe rsi on" registry key.

o Select "Policies" keY1JQder "Currenrversion".
