   What's your OS?  XP?   
      
   This is a "feature" M$ has added to the OS. If you use just the mouse they   
   don't appear, but if you use keystrokes they show up.   
      
   I don't know if there is some Windows option to override this or not. But it   
   isn't the fault of your program, and AFAIK there is nothing you can do in VB   
   to change it. (Perhaps SendKeys to yourself? ) I just ignore it.
