Still Haven't Solved It

Armus, the consensus on the web seems to be that changing the values of the folowing registry key will do the trick:

Right-handed:
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\LandscapeMode = 1 (DWORD decimal)

Left-handed:
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\LandscapeMode = 4 (DWORD decimal)

However it hasn't worked for me because each time I change the key from "4" to "1", the second I click on the "rotate" icon in the "Launcher", it rotates the wrong way and if I check the registry I can see the key has reverted to "4". The key is maintained as "1" until I hit the button, I have confirmed that.

There are some other solutions that don't solve the problem but are work arounds (installing 3rd party applications like SPB Tools) however I have tried them and they have not been something that I liked as they often are trying to do a lot of other things at the same time competing with the HTC Home Plugin.

Maybe you can try the solution above and see if it reverts for you too.

If anyone can comment on the reverting registry key that would be awesome.
