Two keys mixed up, @ and "

There are many threads online regarding how to fix " and @ mix up, yet none of them explain how to change these two keys when everything else is matching.

I am in Australia and want to use a ENG AUS keyboard. If I use a US keyboard, my spell check flags all the words that are different, and it is annoying.

I have my regional settings, keyboard settings, and language settings all aligned, yet the " and @ keys are still mixed up.

I've followed all the advice, but the advice is generic, and not everyone lives in America.

Without giving me a generic answer, how do I change this when everything else is ok. Is there a script I can type in to Command Prompt? Do I have to paint new symbols onto the keys?

For such a global brand, they're pretty pi$$ poor at allowing people in other countries to set their computers accordingly.

    I have two keyboard layouts.

    ENG English (United Kingdom) UK, and ENG English (United States) US.

    The UK one is highlighted.

    My taskbar has ENG UK.

    The problem of incorrect keyboard is still there.

    Thanks

    Mat
