Disabling Auto Screen Orientation on MC3190

Want to know how to disable the auto screen rotation on Motorola's MC3100 series devices AND the device remember after a cold boot? Don't bother looking for the documentation, there seems to be none (shock, horror!).

I've found a workaround but it's not pretty. You need to create a new .reg file in the \Application folder;


REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\IST\SETTINGS\ROTATION]
"AutoOrientationEnable"=hex:\
00,00,00,00


This will set the registry setting after a cold boot but here's the caveat - the device needs a warm boot to apply the setting.

If anyone finds a way to avoid this warm boot, it'd be greatly appreciated if you'd comment and tell me how!
