SYMPTOMS
When you are using a program that uses underlines to denote hotkeys for menu items (for example, pressing ALT+F in Internet Explorer opens the File menu), you may notice that the underlines do not appear until you press the ALT key. This does not affect the hotkey functionality of the program in use.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you have installed the TweakUI tool and the Menu Underlines option in the Effects section on the General tab in TweakUI is not enabled.



RESOLUTION
Click to select the Menu Underlines check box in the Effects section on the General tab in TweakUI.



MORE INFORMATION
If you have uninstalled TweakUI, you must reinstall it to make this change. Uninstalling TweakUI does not remove or revert the settings that you selected in TweakUI. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

190643 How to Install and Uninstall the TweakUI Tool in Windows 98

Microsoft Product Support Services Desktop Systems does not support the installation or usage of the TweakUI program or any of its components.
