DriveAlarm

(Ver. 0.3)

A Free tool for monitoring your drive space on startup (or anytime, really).
 

Getting Started

First, extract DriveAlarm.zip to it's own folder in Program Files, and put a shortcut to DriveAlarm.exe on the desktop for easy drive checking any time or in the Startup folder to activate it at Startup and Logon.
 

Setting Options

The first time it runs, DriveAlarm will make a DriveAlarm.ini file in the folder where it resides.
This will have some first-time run options in it that you can change. Options and default values are:  

[Drive]
Drv=C:/
Set this to whatever drive you want to watch.
Full drive name with colon and slash.

[Type]
Typ=1
When type is set to 1, DriveAlarm compares the free space to a percentage of the drive capacity.
When type is set to 2, DriveAlarm compares the free space to a set amount in Megabytes.

[Target]
Targ=999
This is the target amount, whether a percentage (without the percent sign) or a number representing a target number of megabytes depending on the [Type] setting.

[Message]
Msg=
A custom message to be displayed on the second line of the warning box. Any constructive sort of suggestion will do here, or leave it blank.
