You're on XP, right WyomingGrizFan?
Once you set up multiple languages, you shouldn't have to reboot to switch. In fact, you should be able to put a "Language Bar" on your toolbar, which has a little box with 2-letter codes for each language that you have installed, and it will default to "EN", and then you can click on it and select whatever language you want. This is done on a window-by-window basis (and is sometimes a little bit flakey but if you have the window you want to change on top, then you select the language, then it changes for just that window).
Now, one big help for figuring out where the keys are is the "On-Screen Keyboard" under Start Menu->Accessories->Accessibility. It pops up and tells you exactly what each key does. Note that it takes on the language of whatever window is in focus, so you need to focus on a different window, change the language there, and then click on the On-Screen Keyboard.
BTW there's no backwards "s" in Cyrillic, but there is something that looks like a backwards "R" and it is pronounced "ya".
