Any way to TOTALLY disable Windows 98 Disk Cleanup tool?

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer] "NoLowDiskSpaceChecks"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Cur rentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "NoLowDiskSpaceChecks"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\FileSystem] "DisableLowDiskSpaceBroadcast"=dword:00000210 Those could work. They're absent on my system and there seem to be no CLSID's linking them to the cleanuup manager or anything else, so it's likely down to a core shell file. No need to deal with the forst of those three branches, it's just a session-based duplicate of HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT, or of a specific user's registry if there had been one. Where does that setting 00000210 come from? That's not something anyone can deduce from thin air. |

Where does that setting 00000210 come from? That's not something anyone can deduce from thin air. No Idea where the number came from. I pulled it out of a registry on a laptop with W98. On another system (desktop) it has a value of 3c00 hex, 15360 decimal. What I thought would be the ticket for '98 Guy' is the two POLICY entries ... but he has it figured out! It's been sooo long since setting up the systems I forgot how I figured to put them there. Went through W98 Policy Editor and saw nothing addressing Low Disk Space. Seems it will remain a mystery! Good news is, I too PACK partitions to the full sometimes and have no low disk space warnings on any partition on system (W98, W2K, XP W7). For example, one partition (encyclopedia DB files is 656MB, 15.4MB free, no errors, defrag even works; just transferred a 10MB file to it so 5.32MB free, no complaints, no errors). |

I can't say what the value "210" means - unless I know if that's a decimal value or hex value. Almost definitely hex, it was preceded by zeros, 8 digits in all. It looks like a combination of flags, but may well not be. Nice to know that a single entry can disable the cleanup manager AND the warnings. Sort of implies that both things are part of one subsystem, likely the cleanup manager itself, which may be why I don't get warnings even though I have no registry entry to say otherwise. (I have no cleanup manager at all...) |

Never mind, I guess I won't need to know any further. I might do a quick test. Couldn't earlier because I was using the machine for days at a time encoding stuff, but tomorrow I'll try it while I have easy chances of shutdown and reboot. |
