SYMPTOMS
When you run the Winnt32.exe file from the Windows Server 2003 Installation CD-ROM to install Windows Server 2003, the shortcut keys do not appear on any of the dialog boxes in the Winnt32.exe file.

The first dialog box where this appears after you start the Winnt32.exe file is the License Agreement dialog box. For example, you see the following choices:

I accept the agreement

I don't accept this agreement

After you press the ALT key, the shortcut keys appear:

I accept the agreement

I don't accept this agreement

where each choice has one letter underlined to indicate the shortcut key.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
With shortcut keys, you can perform actions by using the keyboard alone. Shortcut keys are defined by the underline that is under certain characters in the user interface. An example of a shortcut key is File in the menu bar at the top of the Internet Explorer window. Pressing ALT+F opens the File menu when Internet Explorer is the active program.
