screen rotation

Is there a way to assign a shortcut key to rotate the screen for non-Tablet
PC users? (I have a swiveling monitor that I like to rotate and want an easy
way to switch between portrait & landscape)

I didn't even realize you *could* do this without special software.

It's a nice feature in NVIDIA Forceware for Windows XP. Why it's in
their Vista software is beyond me.

Re: screen rotation

Yeah, the Nvidia Control Panel for their Vista ForceWare is not the same as
their XP Forceware, which did allow for a keyboard shortcut to be made. It's
frustrating how they took a step backward, not forward with their Windows
Vista compatibility.
