Desktop Display upside down

Hi,

I have been asked by a friend to fix a computer where the kids have
managed to turn the desktop upside down and reversed. The whole
desktop is reversed vertically and horizontally.

Does anyone know what key combination would have done this and how to
fix it.

I have plenty of computer experience but have never heard of this.

Apparently everything is the correct way up until the desktop appears


Thanks for any suggestions

Start with Ctrl+Alt+Up arrow.
Play around with Ctrl+Alt+ other arrows if not.
You may also find the option in Control Panel-Display to rotate the
screen.

Try hitting the Ctrl + Alt + Up arrow keys at the same time.

If that doesn't work, right click on the desktop and select Properties from the
menu.
In Display Properties, click on the Setting tab.
In Settings, hit the Advanced button.
Check within the properties of the display adapter for a list of hotkeys. There
should be one combo that returns the display to normal.

Good luck
