With regard to the solution above, the settings reverts itself back to and unchecked state. I'm thinking its because of Windowblinds or something, is there a way to force it to stay checked?

if you hit alt at anytime then it reverts...blah

it only hides it until you press alt. alt will let you select stuff, that's the point.

as for it not sticking, it should stay checked. i don't use windowblinds, but it could be some conflict.

Interestingly, that doesn't happen with XPs built in themes.

I suggest you to contact the visual styles author and ask him

to fix this. Some non-aqua themes I saw also didn't expose this behaviour.

Are you by any chance use a port from Zero's WB theme?

wow... i was gonna was just thinking this same thing!

Hehe I still can't work out why I can't get the option to "hide underlined letters..." to stay :lol:

Any suggestions from ppl who use WindowBlinds or know what I can change in registry to force this option?

I'm currently using bzeitler's Siro WindowBlinds theme
