Display rotation

My kids have been on my computer this morning and my display is rotated
completely to one side OK if I want to read sideways. Cannot figure out how
to rotate back. Please help

Ctrl-Alt-UpArrow

Other interesting orientations with ...

Ctrl-Alt-RightArrow - what they pressed
Ctrl-Alt-DownArrow
Ctrl-Alt-LeftArrow

.... or ...

Desktop | Right-Click > HotKeys

I would make them rotate to horizontal in bed very early <g>.

If nothing Alan posts works then right click a blank area of the desktop,
choose properties, and then look around on the various tabs for the setting
to rotate the screen. It's a function of the video display card driver.
