In Windows XP, you can open Display Settings, select the Appearance tab and click the Effects button to configure the Hide underlined letters for keyboard navigation until I press the Alt key option.

Wondering where’s this setting in Windows Vista?

It took some time for me to locate this option in Windows Vista. If you’re a frequent user of Windows Help and Support, you would have found this option quicker than me. Open Help and Support and type Underline as the Search phrase. The first hit shows you where the option is located in Windows Vista.

The setting is moved to the Control Panel, specifically in this location:

Control Panel | Ease of Access Center | Make the keyboard easier to use

The option is now changed as Underline keyboard shortcuts and access keys.

    Thank you for posting this. I was going nuts finding the option for the letter underline, and finally gave up and googled it. Heh. Cheers! :)
