Need a solution to stop students from rotating screen on laptops with intel graphics

We have some students who have figured out how to rotate the screen using either the hotkey combination or right click context menu. It's easy to fix but it's time consuming because no matter how many times I tell people how to fix it there's always someone that will come up to me.

Now I need two things. First, is there a way to disable screen rotation? Second, I need a script to reset the screen rotation to normal on logon and logoff.

The solutions need to be able to be deployed from a Win2003 server to WinXP clients. I have way too many computers to go through by hand to uncheck enable hot keys on the intel control panel.

I wrestled with the same problem. My solution was to lock down the control panel and disable the Intel program. I disabled the Intel program with a startup script that ran a registry update:

startup.bat:

reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v IgfxTray /f

Students you say? Sounds like a job for Windows SteadyState.

Alternatively, you could uninstall the Intel driver package and use the standard VGA driver.
