I am running Win2K SP2 and I noticed that the menu items do not have the underscore "_", which indicates the short-cut character, visible. Only after you press the ALT key does it appear. I find this annoying in the applications I develop.
Is there a setting I can use to turn the "_" on all the time?

Windows 2000 (and probably Win ME as well) standard settings doesn't show those lines. You have to change the properties.

Open the display settings, choose register 'Effects', then unmark the bottom checkbox called 'Hide keyboard navigation indicators until I use the Alt key'.

After that everything will work the way you want...

Ciao, Andreas
