keyboard re-arranged itself

[torge conrad maguar]

i have window XP and a box appeared for some reason in the task bar asking
if i wanted a welsh keyboard or english keyboard. (english U.S) i chose
english and now my pound sign has disappeared (replaced by a # sign ) and my
@ sign has moved to where the " sign used to be.

how to get back to the original situation please?

Start->Control Panel-> Regional and Language Options ->
Languages Tab -> Details

In the "Installed Services" section, remove all existing keyboards and
add in the "English (United Kingdom)", or whatever applies, keyboard.

HTH,
