How would you handle users who don't read dialog boxes? [closed]

Answer 1

One suggestion:

1. Don't use dialog boxes. Especially modal, OK/Cancel dialog boxes.

Sometimes that is hard... how do you handle opening a file? Sometimes it's easy... do you really need to warn the user that they are about to overwrite a file? Chances are, if I'm blindly clicking "OK", I'm not going heed any warnings whatsoever.
