Introducing a new Kaleu, and a question - Page 2

Hi to all fellow Kaleuns on this forum, ( or should that be " Wie gehts " ? ). I share what appears to be a common addiction on here, namely the joy, pride, anticipation and sheer terror, ( sometimes ! ), of taking command of your boat, sailing out to unknown adventures, and known adversaries ! Doing our collective duty for the glory of the Fatherland. Then steering a course to bring our, ( usually battered and bent ) boat and crew back safely to port.
I have been playing SH111 for around 2 or 3 months now, having progressed from SH11, what a difference a dynamic campaign makes ! I have been using GWX 1.03 until very recently when i finished a career, and then donated and downloaded GWX 2. Great work and congrats all round to you guys on the GWX team. However, I have not progressed further than the naval academy in GWX 2 as yet. I hasten to add that this is by choice, due to not wanting to totally commit to a career yet until i have the game set up the way i would like.
I have downloaded and installed Commander, I think to the correct place. When the screen loads for SH111 it says" loaded by SH Commander," so I guess I've done that ok ? The thing that is troubling me is that there are a couple of mods that I would like to add for the time being, although I would not consider myself a complete newbie regarding the mechanics and tactics of SH111, I would neither count myself in the revered company of some of the highly experienced, and legendary Kaleuns on here.
I have downloaded JSGME, for the purpose of installing and uninstalling a couple of small mods. This sounds a great programme for this kind of thing. However this is where my ignorance and ineptitude with things computerish shows. ( I still regard an abacus with deep suspicion ! ). The notes say to install it to the root folder of the game, I took that to mean the SH111 folder in my documents, so i did, I now have a mods folder in there as promised. I also have one on my desktop ! Is this good or bad news ? I have tried to install a simple mod ie contact tails through JSGME, sadly to no avail. I realise the fault lies with me and something I have or have not done properly, I would appreciate and be grateful for anyone taking the time to point me in the right direction. But please, in layman's terms, I have only guessed at the meaning of " root folder " !
Thanks in anticipation, and also for taking the time to read this. BTW my os is windows xp
