When playing a video in Media Player, if you switch to full screen, in WM6 it wouldn't rotate the screen automatically anymore like it used to in WM5. Instead, it would just maximize without using the entire screen. Manually rotating the screen or opening the keyboard so I could use the entire screen to watch video had been driving me insane.

Anyway, searched around here and other places for a fix, but couldn't find anything, so I started messing around, and I've got it figured out:

Make the following change to the registry:

Navigate to HKLM/System/GDI/Rotation
Edit the DWORD Value "LandscapeMode" Default value is 0
- If you set it to 1, screen will rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise when you hit the fullscreen button in Media Player.
- If you set it to 4, screen will rotate 90 degrees clockwise when you hit the fullscreen button in Media Player. This is my preferred setting because the screen rotates the same way it would if you were to slide out the keyboard.

Hope this helps someone besides myself who was annoyed with having to manually rotate the screen before starting a video.

Enjoy,
minazaki

Bad news ... your fix doesn't seem to survive sliding the keyboard out and having the orientation automatically change, or a soft reset.

Damn. You're right. I see what you mean about the soft resets, but not sure what you mean by "...survive sliding the keyboard out and having the orientation automatically change..."

Well, I'll keep trying, but maybe someone smarter than me can take us the rest of the way? There must be a way to make this registry change persist through soft resets and other events...

Maybe there is a way to edit the settings with oemizer prior to burning the ROM or putting in patches folder. I would think if the setting was part of the ROM it would stick. Just an idea. I am a dummy about the registry. I need to start tinkering and learn things about the registry. I know absolutly nothing about the registry on a PC or PPC.

Burning into a rom only makes registry settings survive hard resets. If you are having a problem with a setting changing after a soft reset, it's because an application is changing it.
