Problem with keyboard

Hello,

I have Windowx XP Home edition installed on my PC. My keyboard is defined as
French, which means AZERTY.

If I go to DOS through CMD.EXE, I notice that my keyboard doesn't match : it
is QWERTY.

Why is my keyboard OK in Windows (AZERTY) but it isn't OK in DOS (QWERTY) ?

Thanks.

If, and only if, you do not use a US-English keyboard layout you must
modify the Autoexec.nt file on your Vista system to that DOS
applications use the keyboard that you need.
Open autoexec.nt in c:\windows\system32\ + go to the foot of the file
and add this line (replacing xx with the two-letter abbreviation of your
keyboard layout, for example, uk or nl):

kb16 xx

OBS you might need to move the file to desktop and back to get edit rights.
