I have Windows XP Home SP1 and with the Thumbnails view my menu has two rotate options - rotate clockwise and rotate counter clockwise.

264757 2004-08-24 08:50:00 I must have thumbnail view enabled, as I can see all my pictures as pictures.

264758 2004-08-24 09:24:00 You double click on a pic Mike, then select rotate. There's no option to rotate when you use the right mouse button. Spacemannz (808)
264759 2004-08-24 09:28:00 Oh no I lie! I just tried it with right mouse button. There is an option to multi rotate pics. BUT some may not rotate due to their size. This is in Pro.

You select ALL then right mouse then rotate clockwise, or counter clockwise. Didnt see that before. That was in Filmstrip mode

264760 2004-08-24 09:52:00 I ran 'msinfo32' and got
OS Name Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
Version 5.1.260 Service Pack 1 Build 2600

To me this looks like I too have SP1 version. And yet you see above the list of options I get when I right click one of a group of selected pictures.

Even if I click (right) on one thumbnail pic I get the same choices - rotate not included.

I must have been short-changed in some way or other

Maybe the rotate options only appear if you have some kind of program for graphics installed?? I have Paintshop Pro 8 installed.

BUT I dont think so.
