Default The " and @ are on the wrong keys!

Can anyone tell me how to swop them over please? When doing anything in Word
or Excel, the "/2 key adds the @ sign and the '/@ sign adds the ". Its works
perfectly well when using it on here tho. Help please? I looked through
some old questions on here and thought Id solved it by changing the language
to English UK but it didnt make any difference. thanks

Try this one: Hold down the Alt key and press the Shift key once. It works
for me every time!

That will only work if you have more than one keyboard defined. In this case
the OP has a US keyboard defined and requires a UK one. That can be changed
through Windows Regional settings - and if you are in the same position, you
can delete the US keyboard so that the change doesn't occur.
