Very weird, never knew that but I checked per your comments and found my 
properties set to "hide underlines until alt key is pressed.....".  However, 
this does not apply to everything because in all the Windows apps like Word, 
Visio, Office etc the mnemmonics are visible without the alt key having to be 
pressed.  So apparently Microsoft has decided to override their own 
preferences!  I just checked some Adobe apps and they don't display the 
mnemoniccs until the alt key is pressed.  Personally I think this is a bad 
design idea and that if mnemonics exist they should be there in default and if 
people want to turn them off they can since so many design books and design 
guidelines stress the use of mnemonics to support heavy keyboard users.
