My guess is that you have the hide accelerators thing enabled. Hit the
alt-key while the menu is visible, and I'll bet your shortcut shows up.
It's a feature of 2K and later....

Is this a .net thing or an OS thing. I searched help on both and got
nowhere. How do I change it?

It's an OS thing... How do you change it - well, you have to right
click on the desktop, and select properties and on one of those tabs,
you'll see some wording like "Hide shortcuts until I press the alt key"
or something to that effect...

However, note that it's not recommended to override the user's settings.
