Backslash on keyboard

[ipaqowner]

My 17" MBP bought in the states is running Win XP Home under bootcamp.
I'm in the UK with the keyboard set to English (UK)...can anyone tell me how to type the "Backslash" character?...I have the Apple Keyboard support installed and turned on.

If you have a US keyboard, maybe it would make life easier to leave the layout on US? You can still use UK language and dictionary preferences under either OS with it set that way.

Surely the backslash key? (It's next to Enter) AFAIK it's the same under Windows and OS X. If not it may be the one to the left of Z. (Tilde ~)

On a UK keyboard for Windows, \ is just next to the Z key. / is in the same place on both Windows and Apple keyboards.

Thanks to all, it's working fine.
Within Windows there is an "EN" icon next to the taskbar which gives the choice of UK or United States keyboard layout...I have it on the UK setting all the time and clicked it to select United States to give the backslash but it was reverting to UK...it just needed clicking a couple of times then it worked okay.
Now if only I could get right-click to work using the keyboard within Windows it'd be complete.

Just found this myself using Google

"Under Boot Camp beta 1.1.1 you can right click in XP if you hold down the right Apple key and then click"

and I can report it works...yay>
