Your keyb is prob in US rather than UK format.

It's an option on install but most use automated install so it defaults to US.

Try, Control Panel / Date, Time Language & Regional Options / Regional and Language Options

Then click the languages tab and details.

Set default input language to English Uk and in the installed languages box below add UK then delete the US option.

If using XP, go into control panel, classic view. then regional and language, and change everything from US to UK.
that should be it.

do what you have done but delete the US option in the keyboard settings - double check all settings as english uk

its stupid why windoes sets US as standad

You may also have the little yellow language thingy to the left of the clock bottom right of the screen. click that and make sure there is only UK and no US option.

What language do you think it should do instead?

When installing windows, there's no way for it to tell "where" it is.

And makes little sense to have two versions of windows install disks that do exactly the same but default to UK.

All it takes, is for the install process to set to UK but the installer decided not to for some reason.
