Man, I can't believe people were still getting bothered by that.
But she was talking about a Disk Cleanup, not Desktop Cleanup. How can
Disk Cleanup be scheduled?

As a scheduled task? I wasn't sure either so I used a ? at the end of my
reply.

It's not trying to cleanup the desktop. That's a different thing that
pops up every so often. This is trying to clean up my backup
partition cause it thinks it's too full and it's popping up every day,
at least once. Well, maybe when I reboot.

I should re-state that. It's not "popping up." It's putting itself
in the system tray, but it's still annoying.

Yes, exactly. Or rather, unscheduled. Wait... a thought occurs to
me...

I'm not sure what that is. Something Dell does to "add value"?
Hmmm.

I bet it's not scheduled per se but the low disk space warning is
initiating the clean disk tool (cleanmgr.exe). I think if you disable
the low disk space warning, it will also stop "popping up".

You can use TweakUI if you have it installed. Open TweakUI and select the
Taskbar and Start menu, then take the checkmark out of "warn when low on
disk space" and click Apply.

Or if you want to do it manually...but a larger disk!!!

No, I meant: Open the Registry Editor and find the key,
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer.

Find the value called NoLowDiskSpaceChecks value. If it's not there
you'll have to create a new DWORD value with that name. Set the value to
be 1. I think you'll have to reboot for it to take effect.

Well it's been one of those
annoying-but-at-the-moment-I-don't-bother-looking-for-a-way-to-get-rid-of-it
thingies. But when a free lunch arrives...

BTW, don't you agree that by his action Poly has now shifted 1 p towards
Good?

I know... a bit of a slow response but I just now had time to get back
to this. It looks like a Windows thing, so I don't think you're
allowed to have the fun of blaming it on Dell. Besides it's always
more fun to blame things on Windows.

Are you making a donation? It would help if I'd clean up the game
images I have building up. They seem paltry when you're doing them,
but they add up.

This actually did work, or so it seems. I only tried this a couple of
days ago. I never saw the clean-up thing very often and now that I
think about it, I think it was on booting up, and I've gotten lazy
about actually rebooting. But I haven't seen it since.

First time I've ever created something in the registry. Isn't that
scary?

ooooooo... and what else floats on water?

Er, I mean, ooooooo.... power!!

So thanks (once again). You'll see my newest question soon. But if I
didn't ask questions, you'd get bored.

Yes, you are always the best solution central. Maybe you should make your

I'll rephrase. If we didn't ask questions, you'd get bored. Anyway
scouring youtube must have time on his hands.

I never scour Youtube. I have about 35 websites that I visit once a day
and scan them for stuff of interest. Sometimes one will have a Youtube
link.
