Keyboard Shortcuts in Vista

Often when you right-click on something and get a context menu, each option will have a single letter underlined in its name so that you could select it using the keyboard (very useful when you have a laptop and nothing but a touchpad). A bunch of the programs in Windows Vista, like the standard folder explorer and IE, don't show the underlining even though it is still possible to select options in this manner with the keyboard. Is there a way to bring the underlines back?

Of course, it's usually the first letter in the name of the option, but when several options start with the same letter I'm certainly not going to scan through everything to resolve the conflict.

Thanks!
 
Open up the control panel (in default view, i.e. not classic) and search for underline. Should bring up "Underline keyboard shortcuts and access keys". You can change it there.
 
In many cases it also brings up the underline when you press the Alt key then goes away when you release it. I'd rather it just left them on by default but it doesn't bug me enough to go change the setting.
