    Can't get extrude dialog box back on-screen without second monitor attached

    Normally I use two monitors, but I'm travelling.  Because I last placed the extrude box on my other monitor I can no longer get access to it on the only screen I have left.  Normally, as with any window, you could hit Alt+Space and M but....the blasted mini-toolbar takes focus first!!  It seems that all the other menus don't have this, only extrude.  Is there any way to reset menus when disconnecting?  There really should be. I'd say that the program ought to know that there is only one monitor connected and respond accordingly.

    The mini toolbar is a pain as far as I am concerned.

     

    There is a registry setting for the position of these things... I will see if I can dig it up For you.
