I know there was a Kerneltoys (similar to Powertoys) released that had a
keyremap utility that would perform what you want. Do a Google search
for it. Not sure though if it works on XP since I've never used it.

Download and install "KeyTweak" from:-

http://www.tucows.com/preview/327616.html

It can change any key to any other.

Ah, German layout... You have to properly establish your *Text Services and
Input Languages* in Regional and Language Options.

Look at this

The Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator

I thought it's UK k/b but Berlin newsfeed confused me

So it's UK Extended k/b with Backslash key between left Shift and Z.
I installed Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator, loaded UK extended k/b
layout, and voila! - remapped the individual scancodes such as Backslash and
D-Quotes, built the package, and installed it.

When I am doing a validation I am getting more warnings so I believe it's
normal. The k/b can and do produce a lot more scan codes than expected )

My packages are created in My Documents\{name-of-package} directory. There
is the {name-of-package}.msi file and i386\{name-of-package}.dll file.
Installer just copies the DLL file to the system32 directory and register
it. An additional entry such as *United Kingdom Extended (Custom)* should
appear in the K/B Layout drop-down list after installation.

Look at this thread

or the same

Finally the guys found THEIR solution:
"The problem is on a system with 8.3 file names (aka short file names)
disabled -- since the default install dir is in "Program Files" and has
other spaces in the app dir, the tool converts to short file names for the
compile, which obviously fails when short file names are disabled. The
workaround would be to install MSKLC to a directory that does not have
spaces in the path."
