Keyboard layouts for Windows 95/98/ME

The following keyboard layouts for Windows 95/98/ME replace the standard Russian keyboard, therefore — do not forget to save the original layout in a different folder before installing a new keyboard!

Additional letters are typed with the help of AltGr (= right Alt) and Shift:

  • AltGr + letter = corresponding additional small letter (for example, AltGr + Cyrillic "en" = Cyrillic "en" with hook)
  • AltGr + Shift + letter = corresponding additional capital letter (for example, AltGr + Shift + Cyrillic "en" = Cyrillic "EN" with hook)

How to install a keyboard layout

  1. Download the zip-file, open it in a temporary folder (file Kbdru.kbd)
  2. Save the original file Kbdru.kbd in c:\windows\system in a different folder or under a different name
  3. Copy the downloaded new Kbdru.kbd file into c:\windows\system
  4. Restart Windows

In order to return to the standard Russian keyboard layout, copy the original file Kbdru.kbd into c:\windows\system and restart Windows.
