Re-enabling confirmation dialog box when deleting playlists

When deleting a playlist, a confirmation box will appear and also the option to no longer see the confirmation box. I enabled this option. I no want to see this confirmation box again. How can I re-enable it? I couldn't find anything in the .plist file.

I would love to be able to restore this simple dialog alert. It's way too easy to accidently delete playlists. I keep thinking the grey-highlighted songs are really highlighted, when the playlist is highlighted (in blue) over to the side.

Please help us get that dialog back!?

This is by far the feature I would most like to see added. I've lost a few playlists since I stupidly disabled the playlist delete prompt. Sure would be nice to be able to get it back...it can't be that hard to program this. Pretty please?

Ok, I got the dialog back. If you discard the preference file, it restores all the dialogs. But they really should add a way to change that without redoing your prefs. (Not a big deal, it takes you through most everything when you re-open iTunes.) Note, the dialog only shows up with playlists that have songs in them – empty ones just delete.

Close iTunes, delete this file:

/Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist

Reopen iTunes, follow dialogs to reset preferences.

Sure wish you could just "undo."
