Hi,

     This gave me big surprise when i saw a post that the Hotkey are not displaying untill u press “ALT“ button on .Net application.But any how i found solution for this. Atually , this is behaviour of OS(XP and 2000) nothing wrong with .Net application.

1. Go to Desktop and right click on properties.

2. Click on Apearance Tab ,Click “Effect“ Button

3. It will looks like given below picture.

4. Uncheck the “Hide Underlined letters for keyboard navigation untill i press ALT Key “

This will solve ur problem. 

On other way we can do it programatically ..here is the code for it for more find the link
