Its a feature of Windows XP & possibly Windows 2000.

Under Windows XP: You can control it by right clicking on the Desktop &
selecting Properties, select the Appearance tab, and click the Effects
button, then uncheck 'Hide underlined letters for keyboard navigation until
I press the Alt key' option , finally click Ok on both dialog boxes.

Hope this helps
Jay

File. Same with menu items Open, New, Print and Exit. If I press the ALT key
