I'm trying to set up my own preferences in Maya 4.02, I want to get rid of the menues in the main window and in the viewports.. I'm also trying to set the undos to Infinite. In other words i'm just trying to costumise the program to what I like... BUT!!! this is the part that ticks me off... It wont save the preferences... It gives me an error:

file -f -new;
select -cl;
// Result: ./untitled //
saveShelf Shelf1 "D://maya/4.0/prefs/shelves/shelf_Shelf1";
// Error: Can't open the file: D://maya/4.0/prefs/shelves/shelf_Shelf1 //
saveShelf Shelf2 "D://maya/4.0/prefs/shelves/shelf_Shelf2";
// Error: Can't open the file: D://maya/4.0/prefs/shelves/shelf_Shelf2 //
// Warning: Save of "D://maya/4.0/prefs/userPrefs.mel" failed //
// Warning: Save of "D://maya/4.0/prefs/windowPrefs.mel" failed //

// Warning: Save of "D://maya/4.0/prefs/userNamedCommands.mel" failed //
// Warning: Not all preferences were saved. See Script Editor for details. //

Would someone please give me a hint to what is going on..

thanks.. in advance

hmm..

that looks strange..
maya usually writes these pref files to your profile directory which is under win2000:
c:\documents and settings\YOURNAME\...

what operating system do you use?

do you have write permissions on that drive?

cheers
