Do you mean that you have a OK button, and that button should be activated when pressing enter? in this popup dialog I would have a few words that the file does not exist and want a button WITH the Enter-key icon that gives an iconic clue that all the user need do is hit the enter key. I suppose if the users could, if they wished, mouse-click on the button.

I suppose if the users could, if they wished, mouse-click on the button. I cannot speak for your target audience but according to my experience (a) if people see a message box with a single button (probably with some visual clue that it has focus) they will just press Enter or Esc to make it go away, or (b) if people see a button they will always use the pointer to click on the button no matter what other, possibly much simpler, means may be available to activate it. This is a strict division with little between. There is no way to migrate people from (b) to (a), you can try for years with no effect. So targetting those between you may find you are targetting a group of size zero. Just my 2 eurocents...
