Inventor 2012... missing prompt

When I open an assembly yesterday in Inventor 2012, I get the "Changes have been made to some assembly components since ...blah, blah, blah". I checked the "Do not show this message again EVER" and clicked "Yes". Thought that would be the end of it.
Today, seen the same message. So I went to the application options and noticed that this prompt is not listed under the prompts tab (or at least I couldnt find it). It is there in 2011. Is there another way I can kill this prompt?
I am using Inventor 2012, SP1.

If you do not have an option to suppress the warning at the time it's available, and there is no longer an option to select it in option then I'm hard pressed to think of a way to avoid it.
I wish I had a better idea but, you could use this link to request that it be added back:

Dave,
Thats what I was trying to explain.... maybe I didnt do to good of a job. When the message came up, I did have options so I picked to "NEVER" show the prompt again.
When I seen that prompt again, I wanted to see how it was set in the app options. When I could not find it there, then I knew something was hosed.

Bump.
Not holding my breath at all but,
I get this message almost every assy I open, & guess what I have MADE CHANGES to some components, its part of the job I do :-)
I tick the Do Not Show show this message EVER AGAIN box, guess what, I see this message again.
Will the removal of this prompt be making a comeback in a service pack soon?

If you had made a selection to the prompt initially, and now would like to change it, you could try deleting the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Inventor\Regis
I've logged this with development for investigation to determine if there is a way to add it back,.

Dave,
I deleted the key like you suggested. Then started 2012 and opened an assy. When the "Changes have been made to some assembly components..." came up, I checked the "Do not show this message again ever", then picked "Yes". The assembly opened. I closed it, then closed Inventor. I checked the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Inventor\Regis
If I make changes in the Tools>Application options>Prompts, those changes are written to the \\\RegistryVersion16.0\System\Preferences\Prompts folder. For some reason, the prompt in question does not ever write anything to the registry. Guess that is why I have to do this everytime I close\reopen 2012.
Works fine in 2011, but not in 2012.

Exactly the same problem here, Inventor 2012 SP1, Win7-64 bit.
