I assume you're running Windows XP, because it's the first version that is set to default (quite stupidly, in my opinion -- I just can't figure out a reason to hide the underlined shortcut keys) to hiding the underlines until you hit the Alt key. The setting exists in Win2K, also, but it's set OFF (as it really ought to be in every version of Windows, in my opinion). To set it, in WinXP or Win2K, right click on the desktop and choose PROPERTIES (or open the DISPLAY tool in Control Panel -- same thing). Go to the EFFECTS tab. The item labeled "Hide keyboard navigation indicators until I use the Alt key" should be UNCHECKED. This change in WinXP is a massive stupidity, with absolute no logical justification, except Microsoft's continuing incomprehension of why the Mac UI is superior to their own. -- David W.
