i think i know what doggyjp is talking about... u want to know how to bring the whole 3D studio max program back to the original default settings the way it was when u first bought it... all u have to do is click on customize... click on load custom ui scheme.... then click on default ui.ui.... and this will bring 3DS max back to the original settings

and if that didnt work for u the other way u can do it is click on customize>revert to startup layout... that will do the exact same thing for u.... it will restore max back to its factory settings

Help! No matter what i do i cant reset my UI to the original ones... 3 times i've had to reinstall 3ds max..
Revert to startout layot does not work
reset does not work
Load custom UI (saved the orginal one) does not work
Custom UI and default switcher does not work

Im using 3ds max 2011 <-Trial

if it does not, copy/backup and delete '3dsmax.ini' in "C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Application Data\Autodesk\3dsMax\2010 - 32bit\enu\"

it is for 3ds max 2010 in XP only. for vista/win7, try to figure out where those files should be;-)

i am considering joining this forum. still checking out.

"copy/backup and delete '3dsmax.ini' in "C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Application Data\Autodesk\3dsMax\2010 - 32bit\enu\"

This one realy works

Go to customize --> Custom UI and Default Switcher. In the first selection box "initial settings for tool options" highlight "Max" and 2nd box "UI schemes" DefaultUI--then click set. I actually had to switch it to "ami-light" then back to "DefaultUI" before it actually worked but this is the way you should do it. Took me a whole day to figure out this counter intuitive new program. -100 whomever developed this layout for Autodesk. EVERYTHING is ass backwards or not set as compared to later versions.
