Seems like every couple of minutes this stupid baloon opens up telling me
I'm low on disk space on drive X. Is there a way to stop these warnings?
I'd really like to know...

If the warning is true, you need to make more room on Drive X. If drive X
is actually your C: drive, you run the risk of not having enough room for
the swap file to expand or possibly not being able to run defrag. If the
message is false, read here: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=285107

What drive is drive X? What do you use it for? How big is it? How much
free space is there on it?

You give no useful details, but ... that means you need to either move a
bunch of data off that drive to another drive or backup, or get a bigger
drive.
 
Disable the Low Disk Space warning:

1. Copy below and paste into Notepad.

----------copy inside only----------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoLowDiskSpaceChecks"=dword:00000001

----------copy inside only----------

2. Save-as LowDiskSpaceOff.reg (or any name + .reg)

3. Double-click or right-click and merge into the registry.

4. Restart your computer.
