Desk top is mucking me about, when I 'shift' the number '3' to get the 'L' 'pound' symbol what I get is the 'hash' sign. Thought the keypad was knackered so bought a new one......still get the same result. What does 'The Panel' think ?.

Either try setting the keyboard to UK (sounds like you are on US)

ASCII code is Alt+0163 = £ (on number pad)

Just had a Windows update?

I've had a couple of customers in the last week that've had their language settings Americanised by the last Windows 10 update
