With XP, as many people know, you can change the orientation of the
computer screen image by pressing control+alt+arrow keys. For the
general desktop this has little utility, but for tablets it is pretty
cool... and as long as the ability is there it is often available on
desktop systems. No problems there... though it does leave open a chance
for practical jokes and the like.

Here is the weakness: I can change the orientation from my user account,
even a non-Admin, and the orientation will stay altered even when I log
out...

Why?

Because you touch yourself at night.

Thanks for showing the depth of your technical knowledge.

For one I know this is an issue with certain graphic card drivers and
not XP. But you go ahead and keep pretending that its all Window's
fault if it makes you feel better.

What did that have to do with your BS above?

In any case, the fact that this is inconsistent from one machine to another
is *not* a bragging point in favor of XP.

Its got nothing to do with XP.

Sure it does: it is how XP is experienced.

Its a feature of the video card's driver. That's why it doesn't affect all
machines the same. All Windows machines don't use the same video card.

No argument here - that is why different XP machines are different in this
area.
