Are you viewing your “my Pictures” in “thumbnail” view mode? That’s the only way I can get the rotate option on the right click menu with my Windows XP explorer.
If you don’t want to use thumbnail view, then Merc’s suggestion is the next best thing.

You may want to advise emazing.com that their tip on this is missing a bit of info (the thumbnail part). they do have a feedback email address on their website.

So, what you’re saying is that they actually don’t improve the product all that much? Just change the file structure, add security (for those who understand how to use it as an advantage), add about 6 different ways of doing the same thing, and force their whole .Net scheme upon everyone?

Gladys and others,

Thanks for your help. At least I know my XP is working as it should be.

Gladys, I just did contact Emazing but the only way I had to do it was through “Feedback”

Again, thanks to all.
