It is not possible.   Besides, the reason the checkbox was removed in
the first place is that such a configuration option is a per-user option
whereas a control panel implies per-machine configuration.

The reason I want to fix it "correctly" is so that some that decides to
rebuild the code with local patches will not waste time trying to figure
out why putting the checkbox back into the dialog does not work.

P.S. - This entire tool is going to be removed as soon as someone
finishes the work that Brant Gurganus started for the MMC.  The
afs_config.exe tool is not compatible with the afs redirector.
