I have no idea why you would ever want this option, but apparently, if you type CTRL, ALT, and then any arrow key in Windows, you can rotate your desktop screen 90 degrees. Doing this by accident can pretty disconcerting, let me tell you.

So that’s what I did!
Actually, I have a monitor that rotates from landscape to profile orientation, so this trick will come in handy.
Must be a function of your video card? It doesn’t work for me.
I actually do sometimes turn my monitor 90 degrees so that I can see profile pages larger. I can rotate windows with two clicks on an icon in my system tray, so I do it that way.
It is, apparently, a function of the video card. It doesn’t work on my office computer either.
Supposedly, you can also change it somewhere under Display properties, but I couldn’t find that (what with my monitor on its side and my mouse directions suddenly switched as well). So the shortcut was a real lifesaver.
Oh I can’t wait to pull this trick on the new guy. As soon as he steps away from his computer…
The left and right arrow keys do nothing for me, but the down arrow flips the display upside down. Up flips it back.
Must… resist.. temptation to use… for evil…
I’m SO going to try this at work. The havoc I can wreak…the looks I can get as I work from an upside down screen…
What have I unleashed on the world?
