You folks in the UK must use a different keyboard layout.  It seems that the US keyboard is the same as the one we use in NZ - the @ symbol is on the top half of the numeral 2 key, which sits below F1, and it's accessed with Shift\2

I'd be interested to see how many other areas around the globe share this layout.

So, where is the @ key on a UK keyboard?

  Thanks for the help - I had not dug deep enough into the XP Control
  Panel/Regional and Language Options to get at the keyboards
  options. Michele Sayer pointed me in the right direction.

  Joe Lore from the US said it was standard there to have to do a Shift
  2 to get the @ sign, is this really so? Might be worth Joe having a
  poke about the extra parameters that Michele pointed out and see if
  there is something he could try.

  Regards
