DONE: Drive space monitor

blog clipart
I went around to my friends house last weekend to fix his computer.  One of the problems was that he had about 4mb of free space on C.  After deleting a temp CD image file he nearly had 1gb free and things had improved.

I do alot of tech support for friends and family.  I think it would be useful to have a little program that I could give out (a single small exe) that can sit in the startup folder. 

To configure the program I state how much disk space I would ideally like to be free or state a percentage.

On bootup of Windows it does a little check to see if this amount of space is indeed free.  If not a message pops up (we should be able to insert whatever we want) with a warning.  e.g "Hey Dan, Windows is running low on diskspace. Give me a call and we will sort it out - Deano".

Read about and download the coding snack program written by DC member Edvard to do this..
