Has anyone noticed this happen before? It’s unusual, but I’m seeing an issue where Maya is displaying the new-user tutorial box and has some other preferences reset to default after certain windows updates(Win XP).
Considering most/all of the maya preferences are in:
C:\Documents and Settings<user>\My Documents\maya<version>\prefs
The only other thing that comes to mind, is that Maya might be using some kind of temporary file to determine if it’s been launched before and that temporary file might be getting wiped with the windows updates.
Which version of Maya are you on?
Haven’t seen this happen on Vista (with Maya 7, 2008 & 2010) or Win7 (with Maya 7 & 2010). But then again the location has changed to c:\Users<user>\Documents\maya<version>\prefs in the newer OS.

I’m seeing this issue with Maya 2008, on WinXP. Hopefully the next upgrade will be the nail in the coffin for this issue.
