You've got the keyboard set to US instead of UK, go into the control panel and adjust all the settings to UK.
What Operating System are you running?

Go into the control panel and in classic view click on Regional & Language Options.
Click on the third tab along, Keyboards & Languages, click on change keyboards and ensure you have UK selected.
Personally I remove the US option so only the UK version is left.
