Dynamic Dropdownlist

What would be the best way to dynamically load a dropdownlist.

I have a dropdownlist which has all my maxscript in it. When i create a new one or place a new one within the folder on my desktop Id like when I open the dropdown list that it be updated with all the new scripts.

Any thoughts on this?
My initial thought would be to do a timer which updates ever so often which I would assume to be taxing.

YES

JokerMartini,
You shouldn't need to restart max to refresh categories under "customize" ether. The bitmap martial place holder is dynamic. You can make a change to a Ps file save it, flip to max and BAMM! there it is updated. Can you do xml with dotNet?

True

That was my initial solution to it. But if possible I was hoping to find a solution that would be dynamic. That way is using dotnet it seems like.
