Question:
Would it be possible to set a certain program to start in an orientation you specify?


For example, I'm a big gaming nerd, and I would like my PocketNES emulator to start in landscape mode as soon as I click on the icon to run it. Or my hacked AIM, I want it to always start in Portrait mode, whether the keyboard is out or not. The program would then function normally after the initial startup.

Is there any way I can accomplish this? Whether it is a 3rd party program, a registry key edit, etc.? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Not sure if there is such an app, but i do know Phonealarm by Pocketmax can change rotation depending on the profile your using, and you can also assign a particular app to execute when using that particular profile. What im saying is try to make a profile (phonealarm settings) wherein your desired Screen rotation and program will execute when choosing that profile... but im not sure if this will work 100% since some apps does not follow the screen rotation. www.pocketmax.net

Use Mortscript to change orientation and then launch your app.

PHM does little applets for changing screen orientation etc. Use the two together perhaps for some magic, if Mortscript doesn't natively support rotation.
