I have a beef with these and not really any place to complain, so here it is: I hate apps that provide this functionality but have no way for you to reach into the app and undo it. Sometimes I want to be reminded of something and I accidentally check this thing (or click "No, and stop reminding me") and either the app doesn't provide a way for you to undo the permanence of your choice or it's hidden somewhere that I have no possible way to find.
- layer8 4y agoThere should definitely a way to undo it. Traditionally there is at least a “reset all my decisions” button in the settings.
- Karunamon 4y agoMy favorite example of this: by default, the Windows remote desktop client will present an "are you sure" dialog when closing a connection… If just once you check the "don't remind me" box, there is literally no way of undoing that preference except for manual registry hacking. If only Microsoft were so respectful of their users preferences in all other cases! https://superuser.com/questions/1617750/how-to-restore-remote-desktop-rdp-disconnect-confirmation-window/1617754#1617754 https://superuser.com/questions/1617750/how-to-restore-remot...
