No, it isn't just a visual window. It's an actual dialog that says it can't be found and you have to do cancel or goto folder or hit escape; in other words you have to do something to get out of the dialog. At least, that's how it is on my iMac running up-to-date Mavericks. But unless the file is hidden, I suppose you could just open /Library in Finder and see if it's there.
-- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash! Then God gave me a new heart and life: His joy for my despairing tears! And now, every day: "This I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
