Quad Menu no changes after edit

Hi there, recently I created a new Quad menu and I have assigned some Engines Tools such as Corona,Vray, Phoenix, iToo in a different place from original when installed, the problem is that every time that I open 3ds Max these tools reappear, its not really annoying but I prefer to have them where i put them. In the Corona Forum someone suggest me to use Save as Startup in the Advanced Menus, but the scripts still reappear.

I have tried finding them on the mnux file from Custom user interface, but theres nothing there. Hope u can help me with this.

Im working with 3ds Max 2023.3 with Corona 9 and Vray 6.

Hi, 

I'm not sure about the re-appearing Corona, Phoenix and iToo entries, but there was a known bug with vRay re-registering itself upon startup each time.
There might be some clues here: https://forums.chaos.com/forum/v-ray-for-3ds-max-forums/v-ray-for-3ds-max-problems/988871-prevent-v-...

Perhaps, also, if you're not running as an Admin on your computer, this might be the reason why it keeps rearranging itself.

On my machine, I have to run as administrator for my menus and toolbars to 'stick'.  I'm sure it's a Windows security feature that came about around v10, but that's what it takes for me.  Perhaps you can try it.  Once you set everything up, you can run normally after restarting. 

 

Best Regards,
