    Does anybody know how I can disable the drive bars becoming red instead of blue when the hdd gets full in my computer?

    it changes the colour when there is a certain pecentage free space left, but on a eg; 2TB external hdd it will show red when there is 200GB free space left ...

    I don't like the red, it's annoying, I want them to stay blue all the time
    Its probably a registry setting, but i cannot find it ...

    You can change the image in the .msstyles file.

    Open it in reshacker, look thru the image files, i believe the red one in '657'. Save the blue one and replace the red one with it.. Then save the file... Simple..

    Remember to patch your uxtheme first etc.
