Nevermind -  I just grabbed tool*.ini from a backup installation and
it works now. I was doing it the hard, nerdy way.

But I do think there's something in Windows 10 that allows you to
throw stuff of the visible screen. Otherwise, I would have screwed
this up many times before.  In previous Windows versions  I could
always see something hiding in corners or edges of the screen
(grabbing it dragging it may be hard, but I at least I knew it was
there).
