UN-checking the "Do Not Show Again" Dialog Box

Hi friends,

Please help!  I accidentally hit the "Do Not Show Again" dialog box when deleting a layer mask.  Now whenever I try to apply a layer mask, instead of asking if I want to delete or apply, it just automatically deletes it.  How can I get back to UN-check that box?

Thank you so much.

    Go to Photoshop>Preferences. In the general tab, click "reset all warning dialogs".

    I tried this but it didn't seem to work. I got a message on the screen that said "All warnings that can be disabled by checking 'Don't Show Again' are now enabled." Created test layer and deleted, no warning.

    this was happening to me as well, but then I realized that it depends on how you delete a layer. If you select a layer and then click the trash icon in the layers window, the warning dialogue appears. but if you just hit delete on your keyboard, it deletes it without asking! I don't know what the whole point of the warning box is if you can still accidentally delete a layer with your keyboard! am I missing something?!
