what is "mayaRenderLog"
1) what is mayaRenderLog
(found under mydoc\maya\7)
2) why is it almost 3.7 gigs
3) is it safe to delete - i.e not going to mess up maya
grind my computer to a hault when trying to open the thing
I only noticed it because just update to vista (dual boot until I`m sure everythings work) and was copying my settings over and it was taking forever.

I doubt it can be 3 gigs in size though since it's only a text file, mines about 300kb

Have you been doing a million batch renders ? lol
I cannot even imagine how much text is required to make a 3 gig txt file.
Whether you can delete it or not I am not sure although I can't see it being needed for maya to operate as it's simply a log file of a render job.

and yes a new one came back.
I have no idea why the file was so big, but then I do tend to render a lot of wip.
Is there any way of turning it off

You can't turn it off but you could set up a scheduled task for deleting it periodically. How this is done depends on your OS. In my Fedora Core 6 Linux I've put a simple delete script under /etc/cron.weekly/ which cleans up all kinds of stuff including the render log. If you're on windows you can use the task scheduler or whatever it's called (can't remember).
