It won't work with "Documents and Settings". Make a folder at "C:/" called GIJoe and put the GIJoe.lights file in it. The edit the script to "C:/GIJoe/GIJoe.lights"

ok so you put the GIJoe.lights in C:/GIJoe/GIJoe.lights. Then open notepad and open the script file change the path on line 57. Click save. Then reload maya. The type "GI_Joe;" in the command line.
