In case Dell Laptop, how to use given Rupee shortcut..

for windows 7, follow this procedure: An update to support the new currency symbol for the Indian Rupee in Windows Vista, in Windows Server 2008, in Windows 7 and in Windows Server 2008 R2

for windows 8, follow this procedure: Indian Rupee Symbol in Windows 8 Using Keyboard Only | Digital Sensus

after that, use ctrl+shift+4 to type the rupee symbol, though one bug i found in English(india) keyboard is that right alt key is'nt working for me neither in win7 nor in win8..

I think in Win 8 there is already a option to add that symbol with a particular short cut key.

And that is Ctrl + Shift + 4 as ratul already said.

are you using windows 7 or windows 8, and are these screenshots of the dell system your friend has?? coz ctrl+shift+4 is the shortcut key for dell systems, indian keyboards i see has the rupee symbol on the "~" button..

btw, this method has always worked for me:
