How to always show keyboard accelator letters in popup menus?
When opening a popup menu in Windows via the right mouse button, ever since Windows XP, the accelerator keys (i.e. the key to choose one of the popup menu items) are not visible anymore by default. Supposedly there is a way to set this as default behaviour, but where?
If I use Shift+F10 or the menu key (right of the space bar), the accerator keys are shown.
I only found this Delphi-specific question, there answer to which points to the existance of such setting but does not state where: Stack Exchange
