This ones a cool one to play pranks on your friends, especially if your friends do not know how to get it back to the normal state ;)

The shortcut is

for normal windows : Ctrl + Alt + <Up arrow>
and for 180 deg it is : Ctrl + Alt + <Down arrow>

How ever you should know that these are default shortcuts for Intel Extreme Graphics Controller, and you can change them. To check / change or disable these keys go to control panel–>Intel Extreme Graphics–>Hot Keys.

Have fun :) .

    There’s a same set of functions under Nvidia too.

    They come under Nvidia control panel called NView.

    It has better functions like multiple desktops, window transparency, autoresize etc.

    I have it on my HP DV6000TX running Nvidia GeForceGO 7400 on XP.
    Although this thing was missing on Vista. [:)]

    Thank you for putting this out there. I bet you didn’t know you can do it to yourself by accident! Totally blew my mind and couldn’t find the fix while looking in help “sideways”.

    that from your VGA driver not from your windows, just enable the rotation in your Display Properties

    and for linux user you should enable the compiz to utilize your desktop
