Tweak UI

[Guest]

The following article describes a fix using TweakUI if lines don't appear under hotkeys in menus until you press the <alt> key:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;233518

I noticed the lines under the hotkeys in my menus don't appear until I press the <alt> key. So I went to use TweakUI to fix this as the article describes:

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

But I can't find a "Menu Underlines" anywhere in TweakUI. I can't find an "Effects" section and I don't have tabs anywhere. There is a "General" section in the list to the left, but no "Effects" subsection.

So what is this referring to? I couldn't find an "about" section telling which version of TweakUI I have, but I downloaded it from Microsoft here:

Any ideas? Thank you.

There are no tabs in XP's TUI. That article refers to the older version.

Either update it or run the edit on line 106 (right hand side) to correct

You have there a reference to the old Windows 98/2000 version of
TweakUI, not the XP one.

The setting you are after does not need TweakUI in XP - Control Panel -
Display - Appearance, click Effects and you will find it there

Ah, there we go! Don't need TweakUI for that.
