After getting really fed up with not being able to type a backslash key in Windows when running RDC or Virtual PC, I developed Backslasher [8KB download, includes instructions] to re-map the key on a Mac OS keyboard where a backslash would normally sit. While this app is a for Windows, it was developed as an extension for Mac users to be able to work more effectively when using Windows.

[robg adds: This app was developed for UK keyboards; on my US machine, the backslash key works perfectly fine in RDC without any added software. I haven't tested the above application, but the Read Me includes the author's email address, in case you want further information. If you're having this issue, you may want to consider trying the program. If you do, please post back with any comments on its performance.]
