How to use an Apple keyboard on a PC

I thought I'd post this up as I've been searching for this for a while and it appeared there wasn't a solution...

Those of you using bootcamp on a mac have the driver, but for those of you using a mac keyboard with a PC, this adds some extra functionality.

Volume now works
Mute works
@ and " symbol switched round

I'm sure there's some other stuff that now works but I was really only interested in the volume keys

You might need to download 7-zip to extract it.

no worries

If anyone can find if print screen is knocking about somewhere then you get a cookie...

I'm using W7 64 and the previous version keyboard. Wired.

Arse. My 'pound' symbol doesn't work..! Can anyone find it? Or is it not supported...

Ok so I've installed the UK keyboard layout rather than the apple one... This retains volume/mute functionality, allows you to use the £ sign, but swaps @ and " to how they are on a normal PC keyboard. I guess this is the best compromise really!

I'll stop rabbiting on about this now...
