Option Menu Accelerators?

I have a user that has mildly complained about an option menu (button). He is used to opening a "drop-down" box and hitting the first letter of the choices, and having the "drop-down" list scroll to the choices where the selections start with that letter.

For example, let's say its an option menu of U.S. states (sorted alphabetically), he says that normally he clicks a "drop-down" list like that, and hits 'N' if he wants to quickly jump to states starting with the letter 'N'.

Rev option boxes don't do that (that I can tell). I assume this behavior is not part of the HIG for windows?
