classID

so i downloaded the stack mesh graph, opened it from where i downloaded it, then i evaluated it, started using it a whole bunch, saved and closed the file. but when i re-opened it, realized i didn't have the maxtool in the right location for automatically loading it back into 3ds max. so i put it there with the .ms and .txt files that get generated, but, the dang thing generates a new classID now when i open 3ds max! so all my fun went down the drain... does anybody know how to force a specific classID? i've got the original .ms that was generated, so i have the original classID at my disposal. i tried to change the newly generated .ms file with the previous classID, but every time it generates durring load, it overwrites it. that seems bad that one can't put a solid classID with their graphs. i'm hoping i can in some way add soemthing to the xml of the .maxtool file and get it to work. thansks!

I spoke too soon! ish... I opened the graph in the originally downloaded location, and without evaluating or anything, I did File/Package MCG... saved it, then choose File/Install MCG... the next time I opened up 3ds max, the original classID was found and the file was restored.
