Maya 2012 and Hair
Has anyone seen the Hair menu in Maya 2012? It's strangely absent.
In the Plugins menu I can find and enable Fur, but not Hair.
According to the 2011 Documentation it's in the Dynamic Menu Set, but in 2012 it's called nDynamics, and it's not there. Even when trying to customize the Menu Sets, the Hair Menu is nowhere to be found.
Though most notably, the Hair Toolbar Tab exists, and works fine, and the Hair presets in the Visor are there and working. Not all tools are available from the toolbar and it's very hard to work with it unless you know all the tools by their icons.
I'm unable to access the Maya 2012 documentation from the application, doesn't seem to be installed properly for me.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Upon further investigation I tried resetting the maya-folder in the My Documents folder, and it worked.
There's something messing it up in the userPrefs.mel
Seeing as how this file has been migrated from infinity versions of Maya and mine is like 2800 lines of code while the "clean" one is 1300, I don't see much of a point in trying to pinpoint the error.
So for anyone having problems with disappearing menu / menus in Maya, remove the use.
Reset time!
