Hard Drive Low in "Space" event !

[Eddie]

Hi All,

I would like to write a windows service that will "Check" any problems on my
computer. For exemple, I would like to pop up a windows if my Hard drive is
low in "space" (maybe 5 % free space). How may I do it ? Does VS.NET provide
a tools for that...
I also would like, for exemple, know if my CPU temperature is too high, or
if my Laptop battery is too "low"...

Any help ?

Regards,

Eddie

Hi Eddie,

Some things are easy to do when you use the management class
(WMI)

However not all.

I hope this helps?

I doubt that.

WMI + 'Win32_TemperatureProbe'.

Thank you... where can I find a complete list of "ManagementClass" like
'Win32_TemperatureProbe' or Win32_LogicalDisk ?
