Default is it possible to remap my keyboard in windows ?

just wondering if its possible to remap my uk keyboard in windows XP ?

eg. when I press <shift> 3, is it possible to get * in stead of £ ?

Thanks - but doesn't that just add support for a US keyboard ? I want to remap that US keyboard so it shows a £ when I tap the appropriate key ?

The keyboard is winning rave reviews all over the US and more importantly looks COOL

Well, apart from the obvious pound sign missing it's applied by hitting the ctrl, alt and shift key whilst then pressing the dollar key LOL... need two hands and 4 fingers for that but it works ££££ see

The keyboard action is lovely and soft, the sound is minimal so for fast typers like myself the people around you aren't annoyed by the horrid clacking of a normal keyboard.

The main return key is half the size of a UK keyboard so again touch typists are going to find that a bind initially. It's like anything new - takes time to adjust but over all, in the half hour I have been using it, I like it
