Hello all you very clever people out there in cyber land.
Does anyone know an easy way to remap 2 keys on my keyboard.
What I want to do is swap the " with my ' keys. Now I have a UK keyboard so the " is above the number 2 and the ' is below the @.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Sue

Keyboard maping
I'm not an expert, but if you work with window you should be able to make the switch.
"Start" -> "Parameter" -> "Config Pannel" -> "Keyboard" then look for "English USA" or something similar.
or
"Start" -> "Parameter" -> "Config Pannel" -> "Regional Options"
Good luck : )

The above explanation seems fairly simple.

Keyboard mapping
You can download software from the Microsoft site to build your own maps (can't recall what it's called). I used it to map a slim Mac keyboard onto a pc. - much nicer to use than the usual (and I'm used to the layout).
