Anyone know the name of the file that switches from landscape to portrait?

I'm looking for the name of the file, possibly in the windows directory since that's where most of the .exe files are, that switches between landscape and portrait mode on the touch. I'm not looking for the shortcut but the actual file. Thanks.

Start, Settings, System, Screen. then tap landscape.
Plus I'll move this to the standard Vogue forums for you since it doesn't pertain to upgrades.

I know how to select portrait/landscape mode i need to know what the name of the file that actually does this. In the htc home screen when you select the programs icon below the clock, you get the launcher which you can tap and the screen will switch to landscape mode but I'm sure that's a shortcut to another file that actually does it.

Well, let me be a little more descriptive, I'm using iGO8 along with astrogpslauncher. What I'm trying to do is create a shortcut that will first rotate the screen to landscape mode, then open astrogpslauncher, then open iGO8. I used a program called sk shortcut and so far I set it up where a shortcut would open astrolaunchergps, then iGO8. I need an actual .exe or .ink file that will rotate the screen. Is that possible?

Dunno, but it can be done with AEButton Plus by creating a command line link.lnk for you to call. It should work for you.

Code:

 
41#"\Program Files\AEBPlus\AEBPlus.exe" 001F

Here is a link to the other codes...

And here is the .lnk file
