I'm on my laptop, i can't seem to type \ with the english input, when i switch to ZH (chinese) i am able to but for some reason when i click on my cmd prompt (or any other window infact) it auto switches back EN input... stopping me from typing \

Anyone know a way?

If you just need it for CMD you could just copy a slash and paste it where needed.

Theres got to be a way... im trying to sort out a registry, which i'd normally just use run but i can't with the stupid vista admin thing. I guess i'll have to wait until im back to university, left my keyboard there. ;(

Do you have it set to English (US) or English (British)? That can sometimes mess up the keys.

Its in English (United Kingdom) default, i changed it to ZH (Hong Kong) because it has the backslash but when i click something like a windows folder it switches back.
