My site http://WinRus.com has a section "Typing Russian on any keyboard", where in addition to the Standard Russian layout activation, I explain how to install/activate an alternative Russian layout - Phonetic (transliterated, homophonic):

the Russian letters are located where the closest English letters are:

    'O'-'O', 'A'-'A', 'T'-'T', Russian 'Ф' - English 'F', etc.

MS Windows offers to have several keyboard layouts for one language...
A user can choose as 'active' one of the existing layouts.

This alternative layout approach is covered in details in the section mentioned above and here is the direct link to the coverage text: "Phonetic Russian layout".

This set of files is to add to the Windows system (see instruction below, after the images) a new Russian keyboard layout - Phonetic layout "YaWert" called so due to the Russian letters assignment on the first six buttons of US English keyboard.

Below is the image of such layout as well as the images of some other Phonetic variants offered in the section mentioned above (not included into ZIP file you are working with now).

Symbol 'number' - № - that a Standard Russian layout has, can be obtained on Phonetic layout, too - via a combination of buttons: Ctrl/Alt/5.
Symbol currency Euro - via a combination of buttons Ctrl/Alt/E.

Here is the image of the 1st additional variant I offer. It differs from the main one only by assignments for Russian letters 'Ж' and 'В'. This variant of Phonetic layout is usually called "YaZHert", because Russian 'Ж' is assigned to 'W':

Here is the image of the 2nd additional variant I offer. It's called "Student" and is also widely used:

Please find, among the files here, one called   setup   and click on it.
You'll see a windows with "Installation starts" message and then it disappears - it's how Installers work under Windows; wait a little bit; if you see a Warning screen, choose there "Run" or "Allow" option; wait a little bit more and you'll see a message that the installation of keyboard layout "Russian Phonetic YaWert - WinRus.com" is done successfully.

That's it! Now if you switch to "RU" you'd work with this Phonetic layout.

If you already activated Standard layout before, you'd rather remove it to have just Phonetic layout working as "RU" (only one layout can be 'active"):

Control Panel / "Regional and Language Options" - "Languages" tab - "Details" button
(under Vista - "Keyboard and Languages" tab and "Change Keyboard" button) -
  if you see there that for language "Russian" you have two active layouts - "Russian" and "Russian Phonetic YaWert - WinRus.com"
(under Vista you need to click on '+' next to word "Russian" to see active layouts),
then place cursor to "Russian" layout line (which is right above "Russian Phonetic YaWert - WinRus.com") and click on "Remove".

Click again on the same   setup.exe   -
it will offer you two options - "Remove" and "Repair". Click on "Remove", wait a little bit and you'll see a message that "Russian Phonetic YaWert - WinRus.com" layout was successfully uninstalled.

Or you can just remove Phonetic layout from the list of active layouts, choosing another layout as 'active" for "RU".

By the way, if you install and use such Russian Phonetic layout at home, then you will be able to type the same way, with the same layout, while outside of your home.

It's handy! Typing Russian with the same layout both at home and say in Internet-cafe in Barcelona!

Just visit my Virtual Keyboard page "type as at home" where one types using regular keyboard (though mouse-based input works, too):

You just choose there, in "Phonetic layouts" menu, same layout - "YaWert" and type exactly as at home!
