I've been working with 4.5 for quite some while now(the version without Mental Ray), but i keep haveing this problem of the shelves losing their icons.
Now i know this is a common problem with custom shelves, but over here ALL the shelves lose their icons right after Maya started up with an error message.

The error message is very vague and involves a 6, yes the number six, i have no clue what, why or how, but it says "6".

After that i get the messages, cannot load shelves.
The shelve-tabs do load, but the icons are nowhere to be seen.

It's so frustrating, i have to reload my shelves up again via the script editor, but then i can only bring back the standard shelves from Alias|Wavefront, but my custom shelves are totally down the drain.


I have no clue whatsoever is causing this.

1st thing id try is dumping your userPrefs file and restart maya

Hmmm, that did not work, the problem keeps coming back.
From time to time now i get this error at startup.

Error: Unable to parse header for userPrefs.mel

I know what the error message means, but not why it can't parse the header.
Anyone knows how to fix this problem?
