I have reistalled XP Home Edition. However, a few characters of my keyboard
are now "wrong." In particular, I cannot get a Pound sign, and to get the
"@" symbol I have to press the quotation marks key. Is there a way of
correcting this? It looks like I ended up with the English U.S. version of
the keyboard after installation, and I live in the UK.

Click Start - Control Panel - Regional and Lanuages Options
Click Languages tab and click Details
Add or Remove Keyboard layout as desire.

Hope this help, let us know!

Extending Taskbar in 2 Rows can be useful, if you want to see Date along
with Time.

Just change your localization from the Region & Language Options applet
in Control Panel.

That didn't do it. I wonder if it's the Word 2000 link that's causing the
problem? It wants to automatically use the dictionary in English U.S. I
know how to change it to English UK, but it always goes back to English UK,
as the default.
