Hi there
Sometimes I use a wireless logitech keyboard on a laptop -- the FIRST time this is used it always defaults to US layout even though I've set the keyboard to ENG - GB (UK) and it's the GB version of Windows installed. I know it's the US since the double quote for example on the UK keyboard is over the 2 numeric key while on the US the double quote is at the @ key (2nd key after the L on the 2nd row of letters on the QWERTY layout).
BUT the laptops keyboard is ALWAYS OK -- and once I've tapped ONE SINGLE KEYSTROKE from the LAPTOPS keyboard the external one magically reverts correctly to the UK layout for the rest of the session. !!!!
Not a showstopper - since easily overcome now I'm aware of it - but Windows certainly throws up some strange defects. !!!
Cheers
