windows XP keyboard mapping
sometimes I think I don’t deserve a career in IT - I just spent a good half an hour completely stumped as to how to change the keyboard mapping from US to UK on a win XP box!
To do this, go to control panel ->regional and language options->languages->text services and input languages
obvious when you look at it, but could I find it?

Thankyou I’ve just been struggling too.

Thank you. It’s not easy to find. I added English (Ireland) but had to remove the entry for US to get the correct mappings for @ and “.

Many thanks to you and to Mick Ruddy. I had tried adding the UK keyboard to my Dell previously, but thought I could switch between them - didn’t realize I had to delete the US keyboard before the UK one would work properly.

I rebuilt my PC a year ago and since then it thought it was US setting - despite the obvious regional settings pointing at the UK
The Key board was always mapped wrong so the @ sign was always at SHift-2
This info here fixed it - thats great - the simplest things make the world go round…
Thanks Dude
