If you're running windows 95 or higher, you can rotate the image in Paint and
cut out the part of the image you want. Then set image attributes to be 1x1
pixels and paste the image. When asked if you want to enlarge the bitmap,
click yes and you'll be left with a final image the same size you cut. Not
really as hard as it might sound.
You can also get ACDsee for free which is an image browser. It lets you
rotate any number of pictures you specify. So if you download 100 pages of
instructions and half of them are upside down, just ctrl-click on the ones you
want to rotate and then select how many degrees to rotate. Click on rotate
all. It works pretty fast.
