It should leave all the custom content behind when you uninstall. You might want to move it all out of the 3dsmax folder and try push with a clean install?
Its... fantastic. I would live there. Staring at every piece of wood, sprinkler, loos brick, lily pad flower, blade of grass. Added Inspiration folder, twice.

For the Tommy gun I have to get back with you on my references I made that model on a different computer and that folder has my references. This was the Shotgun I was modeling
Would anyone be interested in getting the SDK to this? I have the Maya project folder compressed and ready to go (sans textures, but has a rough rig and model only version).
I love this concept, have it saved in my inspiration folder and always wanted to build it someday. Good luck! I'll be keeping an eye on it to see how it turns out.
I've got a whole folder but the main one im using is this -http://www.thespecialistsltd.com/files/mossberg_500a_b.jpg (I'm particularly curious about the best way of cutting the ejection opening)
As Moose and nome_sane said, the Javascript scripting guide in the Photoshop folder is great reference. That's pretty much all I use, plus the occasional google search for Javascript tips.
Do you use MJPolyTools? If so, try renaming the maya folder in MyDocs to maya_old or something and start up Maya again. See if you get the same shearing.
