If you have a project set up, when you open a scene, the browser points to the directory containing files of that type.

Execute Script Nodes Script nodes contain MEL scripts in mayaAscii or mayaBinary files. You can designate a script node to execute its script when the node is read from a file, or before or after rendering a frame. You can and edit the script nodes using the Expression Editor. See the chapter "Using Script Nodes" in the MEL book for information on creating and editing script nodes. User interface configuration information is stored inside the Maya scene file as an attribute on a script node. If you disable the Execute Script Nodes option, the UI script nodes are not executed. However, we recommend disabling script node execution only if you have an error in your script.
