Maya run on startup

various solutions to run code on Maya startup
I recommend Maya plugin and ignore the rest.

• a Maya plugin can auto load on startup, which then runs the plugin code.
• a usersetup mel or python file auto loads on Maya startup,
  it can live in the Maya installation folder, the Maya folder in your documents, or in a module
• Maya ApplicationPackage startup code
• pth
• Python run code on startup - sitecustomize and usercustomize
• Maya _load - mel scripts that end in _load.mel run on startup
• a Maya module can contain all the above solutions
