How to change European keyboard to US solution

We are often faced with the challenges of keyboard swapping between European and Us. This often happens when you want to type @ and instead gives you a pounds sign/symbol (£).
To correct this press Alt+ Shift (left) at the same time .
If this does not help, follow this guideline:
Your computer is likely setup for multiple keyboard layouts and a hotkey has been inadvertently pressed to switch between layouts.
Open the Control Panel and go to the Region and Language applet. From the Keyboards and Languagestab click Change keyboards. If you only want the US keyboard layout, select thenDelete all others listed in the General tab
If you have the need for multiple keyboard layouts, ensure that US is set at the top of the list and move to the Advanced Key Settings tab. Modify or delete the hotkeys for switching between keyboard layouts by selecting an option and clicking Change Key Sequence.
If you have decided to retain multiple keyboard layouts, make sure that the Language Bar is readily available from the Language Bar tab. Docked in Taskbar is a good setting here. If this is set, the keyboard icon will be present to the left of the Notification Area (e.g. System Tray) when the Language Bar is Docked in taskbar. This allows you to quickly switch between keyboard layouts.

To his reply to a question by Dawn B on 21/10/2010:
How can I get my keyboard to type the correct symbols….and where the heck is the pound sign ?
e.g. The @ is up over the 2 and the inverted commas come up where the @ sign is supposed to be.
The hash sign shows a backward slash….the pound sign shows a # hash…..etc….etc.
