US keyboard to UK keyboard Thursday, April 30, 2009 at 12:51 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by athegn (147 messages posted) I am in the UK and want a UK keyboard, as does a friend who has just phoned and asked for help. He found that shift + 2 gives him @ whereas the UK keyboard gives " for that combination. He may have, inadvertently, pressed both shift keys and the alt key at the same time to switch from UK to US keyboard. I tried this on my Win XP laptop and changed my keyboard from UK to US. I could only revert to the UK keyboard by rebooting. Is there a keyboard short cut to reverse Shift + Shift + Alt to make a UK keyboard. If you look in Control Panel nothing seems to have changed so the reversal cannot be done there. Any advice please?
