Hi Scorpio,
I've been studying your reply and, first, thank you for it.
When I press the Windows M or B combination, nothing happens. It's like
my screen is blank. The only way I can do anything is to do a Windows
search and navigate that way.

There's a few ways to fix this.
Regarding your hidden desktop, if you press alt+B, this is a Windows
shortcut to take you to the system tray where you find the time and
all the programs running on your computer in the background.
Tabbing once from this point will take you to a button.
Not sure what it'll say for you, but mine says "Show Desktop" and
pressing enter on this button takes me directly to the desktop.
I'm also curious as to what happens when you press the Windows hotkey
of Windows+the letter M, or Windows+the letter D. Both of these
keystrokes should take you to the desktop.
Regarding your sideways desktop or view, as you heard from someone
else, there's a shortcut key which is control+the arrow keys to rotate
your screen, but you can also do this by going to your desktop and
de-selecting anything that is currently highlighted by pressing
control+spacebar.
Once you've done this, you can press your applications key or
shift+F10, and arrow down to "Display settings" and press enter.
In the resulting dialog box, tab to the combo box that says
"Orientation" and press alt+down arrow to open the choices, then arrow
up to Landscape or Portrait, depending on your preference. Tab to the
apply button and press enter.
Once you're done, just alt+F4 out of that window.
Previous editions of Windows used to have the rotation option right in
the first context menu, so you could make the changes that way, but
alas, Windows has done away with this option.
Hope this helps.
Scorpio
