Screen Orientation

I am trying to find away to lock the key combination Ctrl + Alt + Arrow Key
so that a screens orientation cannot be changed. Is there a way to do this
either locally or through a group policy on a server?

Try looking in the Control Panel / Display settings for something
similar to 'rotation' and disable it. You may have to dig down through
all the tabs and advanced properties settings to find it. On my
laptop, it's buried several layers deep, but it should be there
somewhere.

Re: Screen Orientation

Thanks, that worked great. I found it hiding in the graphics card settings.
Now once I send out new images to all our computers this summer I won't have
to fix this issue anymore.
