Just for grins, try ResEdit on the System file to delete the OK button.

This overall dialog box behaviour is a flaw in the MacOS that goes all the
way back. For example, in System 7.5.1 for Workgroup Servers, if you had
your server automatically restart after a crash it would hang at the Dialog
box indicating that "The computer was not shut down properly." One minor
problem: The default preference was to turn ON this checkbox in the General
Controls cdev. In fact, after reporting this to Apple via eWorld they
issued a revised General Controls cdev specifically to address this issue.
