[WriteLog] Edit writelog.ini is missing from Start Menu of 11.26

In the past I've frequently used the "Edit writelog.ini" selection in the Start Menu.  When I tried to use this feature yesterday on two different computers with fresh (as of Field Day) installs of 11.26 the Edit option was missing from the Start Menu.
 
The reason I wanted to edit Writelog.ini is that I temporarily set the number of radios to 2 then changed it back to 1 on this computer.  The "Networked Frequencies" window still shows a phantom second radio on the computer where I made the change, even after starting a new contest.
 
I'm just wondering whether the Edit option was omitted from 11.26 or perhaps our installation of it was incomplete.  I'll refer back to one of the many earlier posts describing where I can find the "real" writelog.ini file to eventually edit and fix the Networked Frequencies issue.
 
Also, while trying to understand how QTC transmission works I noticed that using the "Xmit QTCs" button will not send 10 QTCs if they are available.  It abruptly stops in the middle of the 8th or 9th QTC.  This happened on both computers and seemed as if it may be a buffer length issue as it stopped at different characters depending on the fake QSOs that I had logged.  It transmits all the QTCs when fewer are available. Thanks to the excellent description of Writelog QTCs posted by Gary, AL9A, I realized that Xmit QTCs is probably not necessary on CW.
