1. i executed a script in script editor that fixes the extrude bug in maya 8. it worked for me but every time i start a new project, i have to reload the script. is there a way around this?

2. is there a way to reset the icons for the different views that are located to the left and just under the manipulating tools? i was messing around with them one day and created a bunch of stupid configurations. is there some sort of reset option?

3. anyone know of a link or guide that outlines the new arrangements of tools in maya 8? where were they before and where are they now.

any help would be appreciated.
