Students seem to think its amusing to rotate another student's monitor display so that it is upside down or sidewise. Here is how its done and undone. You have to be logged in to an account to do this, but any account of any kind is OK:
- To Set the Screen orientation
- Correctly, with top at the top of the screen
Press CTRL - ALT - UP_ARROW.
- With the top at the left side of the screen
Press CTRL -ALT - LEFT_ARROW
- With the top at the right side of the screen
Press CTRL - ALT - RIGHT_ARROW
- With the top at the bottom of the screen (upside down)
Press CTRL - ALT - DOWN_ARROW
If you right-click on the desktop and choose "graphic options" you can control this and many other things as well.
I will add new items as I discover them.
