"¥" instead "\" when System locale is setting to Japanese

Well, its my first post here and my english is not good, Hi all! :p
I've installed win7 ultimate 64bit yesterday and Iam having a annoying problem when System locale is setting to Japanese:
The standard "\" character in shortcut dialog box, for example was replaced with yen symbol (¥)

Windows help said that it dont affect the language in menus or dialog boxes for windows or other programs that do use Unicode (see image below), then i dont understand why its changing this character, and well, I know that its visual only but i preffer my windows without this yen symbol and yet, being able to show correct characters in japanese applications :cry:
