I thought that was a Windows setting. Under Display Properties, Effects, "Hide Keyboard navigation indicators until I use the Alt key".
Why would I ever want to do that, BTW?
Where are you finding this setting? I just looked and didn't see it.

In Win 2k go to display properties, Effects, "Hide Keyboard navigation indicators until I use the Alt key".
Oh, I'm on XP and don't have an "Effects" under Display Properties. I checked a 2000 machine here and the setting was checked. The only thing I can think of is that it cleans things up just a teensy bit and for someone that likes to be squeaky clean and doesn't EVER use keyboard shortcuts, I guess maybe it has some value. I've never seen or heard of it before, though.

the setting is in windows xp under display properties/appearance/effects
Ahaaaa, it is there, although unchecked. Me thinks it will stay that way. Thanks. :-)

Moved to XP Pro at start of week, 2001+ SP0, and they have gone here as well!
That's been unchecked ever since I switched to XP. SW2003 had the underscores, no propblem. SW2004 does not. But SW2004 does have a lot of pretty pictures to look at in the menu. Maybe that's why the underscores are gone? I memorized the menu "hotkeys" because I couldn't stand looking at and go thru the lengthy and unconsistent menu system. Now I HAVE to look at each line in the menu and it's annoying picture.

SW2004 does have underscores you need to hit the alt key if you cant see them some of them have changed
Not for the RMB menus :(
hmmm ....true ...and the alt key only works for one look.....give me strength!
