gamehead200 Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 Those of you with Tablets may already know about this one, but if you ever want to play a trick on someone, hit the following key sequence:Ctrl+Alt+DownThis has worked on MOST of the computers I have tried it on (including laptops) running XP. To switch it back, hit:Ctrl+Alt+UpYou can also flip the screen sideways by hitting: Ctrl+Alt+Left and Ctrl+Alt+RightThis will definitely confuse some of your profs when having your laptop sideways on your lap.
Lost Soul Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 lmao that sounds like a funny trick, im gonna try it
IcemanND Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 Unfortunately it depends upon your video card driver and if you have the hotkeys for that turned on. I turn it off for all the laptops I deploy, though I leave it on for the tablets. But it can be fun.
Maleko Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 Those of you with Tabletsthread aimed at tablets, not laptops...All our science staff use tablets, and they all use these shortcuts, so the trick wouldnt work for us unfortunately
Lost Soul Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 wouldnt work on my pc unfortunatly but still sounds like a funny prank
gamehead200 Posted November 30, 2006 Author Posted November 30, 2006 Yes, it does depend on your video card and driver... However, I have tried it on several non-tablet Dell laptops and it seems to work fine.
ripken204 Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 ya my comps at school do that onboard intel video...
Jaqie Fox Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 nVidia and ATi drivers have an option for that in their control panel.
