Poor excuse - it does come with a User Guide you know.

No it didn't. Because YOU failed to follow the instructions, YOU created a situation where SH3Cmdr was trying to clean up files that YOU had subsequently changed. It was doing it's job correctly.

See above. Work arounds like this are NOT necessary if you take the five minutes needed to read the User Guide that I put together to ensure that you don't get yourself into messes like this.

[rant]If I sound pissed, it's because I'm sick of players being too damn lazy to read the readme files that modders provide in an attempt to make everyone's life easier. Ironically, it's the players that continue to say "be nice, don't post RTFM comments because it's rude boo hoo", when it's actually the players that are being rude by ignoring the information that modders provide, especially when they then come out criticising the mods as being faulty! That's why I no longer respond to SH3Cmdr questions where the answer is in the manual. Rude? Well, right back at'cha.[/rant]

Apologies for ranting in your thread OLC...
