Create a Desktop Icon to Rotate the Screen



So Windows 10 kind of breaks the Razer Edge's Drivers for auto-rotation sadly. I still want to use my tablet like a tablet, and I won't always have my keyboard to do ctrl+alt+arrow key. I made a desktop shortcut to do it.

For the shortcut (errrr .bat file) you need this program.

Steps:
  1. Open Notepad
  2. Extract Display to C:\ or change the address in the script
  3. Put this in notepad:
start C:\display.exe -device 1 -rotate 90 /toggle
exit
  1. Save it as "anythingyouwant.bat"
  2. Put that .bat on your desktop and click when desired
  3. Rejoice! 
Grabbed the ideas from this link and just made it a batch script (http://superuser.com/questions/447155/how-do-i-set-up-a-hotkey-or-shortcut-to-rotate-my-screen-in-windows) if you are having issues, try running it in the cmd window first to see what it says
