Folders named 'Keyboard' - Maya 2013 bug?
polycounter lvl 9
Since installing Maya 2013 I get folders titled 'Keyboard' which are empty appearing in any location I open or save maya files from.

I basically have folders everywhere in my projects files called Keyboard which are empty. Is there a way to stop this happening? It's a bit annoying.
Can't seem to find any answers on google, and only a few places that even mention this problem.

I had a quick look into when it happens and it looks like Maya creates it in the directory it was launched from (which is the same directory the MEL command pwd() returns).
