No, the buttons will still work, so you can toggle the SSI and CGI option for 
a website. However, the "AllowOverride None" will make sure that the user 
uploaded .htaccess files will no longer work. And the ones from Frontpage 
won't work either.

When you really need and want .htaccess to protect selected content, then you 
can add another directive into access.conf to allow .htaccess in that 
specific directory and its subdirectories.
