Accessability StickyKeys prevents use of Alt-key for menus on Win 2000

Hi Dear GNU Emacs,

I have been trying to make GNU Emacs on Windows 2000/NT to use Alt-key to
use the menubar in Emacs from the keyboard. (This is a standard MS Windows
feature that all programs I know of - except Emacs - uses to access the
menubar.)

It works with the following:
  (setq w32-pass-alt-to-system t)
  (setq w32-alt-is-meta nil)

However if StickyKeys (an Accessibility Option) is used then I have to tap
the Alt-key two times to get to the menubar. I found this quite annoying, it
makes the menus much more inaccessible.

** More info:
Settings I use for StickyKeys are:
- Use shortcut: off
- Press modifier twice to lock: off
- Turn StickyKeys off if two keys are pressed at once: off

Kind regards,
Lennart
