i've searched around on google and haven't had any luck with this...but how do you go about turning off the drive alerts in vista.....

...i've opened the following path, based upon an XP Os...
regedit>hkwy current user>software>microsoft>windows>current version>policies

....now in the polices window, i should see another folder to open, explorer and in that window should appear a valve named no lowdiskspacecheck....however, i don't have that option in vista....

....any suggestions?

for XP it was Eliminate XP's Low Disk Space Notification alert

I didn't know so I looked it up for you....

a new way for vista is setting both to nil
"HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows Search\Gather\LowDiskMinimumMBytes"

"HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows Search\Gathering Manager\BackOffLowDiskThresholdMB"

But before this remember my probubly need to change ownership of the Key
so that you can change permissions to your user or administrator to full control.

...your right this does do the trick...under hexdecimal i put in 01.....
Under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows Search\Gather
There's a key called LowDiskMinimumMBytes

...this one only produced a warning error....
Under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows Search\Gathering Manager
There's a key called BackOffLowDiskThresholdMB
