    disable low disk space warning WinXP....



    Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE).
    Open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Policies\ Explorer.
    If it's not there, create a DWORD value and call it NoLowDiskSpaceChecks.
    Double-click on NoLowDiskSpaceChecks, and enter the value 1, and press OK.

    Just be aware, all that does is disable the warning, it doesn't fix the problem IF a problem exists..

    I get the yellow yield sign on the system tray saying Out of Virtual Memory sometimes...even though i'm not. I don't want it increasing my page file size!

    Is there a key where I can disable that?
    Windows 7 + SSD:
    Mode: AHCI, default Microsoft driver or latest Intel RST
    Defrag: Off
    Hibernation: Off (use Sleep mode, recommend a UPS)
    Indexing: On (it only indexes a few locations, not your whole system unless you tell it to)
    Page File: On (set to the minimum of 16MB if you have a large amount of RAM, disabling not recommended)
    Prefetch: On
    Superfetch: On (RAM is always faster than an SSD - use it)
    System Restore: Off (with regular backups)
    Browser Cache: RAM Only, Disk Cache Off (How to with Chrome)
    Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos, Downloads to HDD (Public Libraries too, see above link about junctions)
    UAC: On!

    If I'm reading your post correctly Soul, your asking if you can choose to manage pagefile size yourself, thus not letting the system take up anymore HD space...

    If that is correct follow the pic, if you need to know in more detail how to get there just let me know...

    I know how to manage the size of my paging file...

    I am asking how to get rid of the yellow warning icon, telling me I am out of virtual memory, when I am NOT.
