How to change a symbol in IME.

[Rodin]

I have a problem. I really want to use IME on my PC, but my father won't let me. He considers Japanese an inferior language, and doesn't want it on "his" computer. (No time for semantics, don't tell me since it's his computer, it's his choice, I've put in twice as much money into it from what he's done to mess this thing up.) Anyways, I want to know how to change the \ symbol. When IME is turned on, it produces a symbol that many Americans mistake for the yen symbol. I want to know how to change this so I can put IME on my PC, and not have my father bitch about how he doesn't like the \ changing because it's not American. I'm currently studying Japanese in my spare time, and would like to use it for practice/memorization. (The Japanese you see in my signature was posted from my PSP :3)

Hello there, you cannot change the Yen symbol back to a backwards slash if you have forced your ENTIRE system to Japanese. Please note that if you change the settings for "Non-Unicode Programs" to Japanese, it will enforce the yen symbol. You may want to only enable the Japanese language input for your account only, and apply the English language settings for all other accounts and the default system setting.

If you want to hide it from your dad, then you gotta keep the "Non-Unicode Programs" settings in English mode.

I would also like to say that I am sorry that your dad has such a biased (to put it kindly) view on the Japanese language. I feel all languages are each unique and has their own feel, and cannot be compared it terms of superiority and inferiority.

EDIT: You also need to change the money settings to use $ again instead of the Yen sign.
