hi there,

i need your help! i'm trying to start a script when maya starts up automatically.

the MEL script should add a menuentry to mayas main menu.

the documenation said that i have to put my MEL script into the script/startup folder ... but nothing happens ...

i used filemon from www.sysinternals.com to watch the file access. my MEL script isn't touched at all (no read access) during the startup of MAYA.

any ideas are welcome.

thanks in advance

create a " userSetup.mel " in which you write the name of your
script, without the " .mel" extension, i.e :

myscript;

and put the " userSetup.mel " in your "C:\Documents and Settings\xxx\Mes documents\maya\4.5\scripts".
