The following Guide is broken down into parts for ease of posting. I will show you how you can organizing your Combat Mission mods directory, i.e. the 'z' directory in a manner that will keep it well organized and tidy and make it easy to manage. It will include both mod-tagged and non-mod-tagged folders and you will additionally be able to swap more other mods in and out with JSGME if you want.
Part ONE: Where to Install the 'z' directory.
It depends on whether or not you have installed the Steam or the older stand-alone version from either Battlefront or Matrix Games.
(a) Steam Version: Find your Steam directory. Then install 'z' at Steam/steamapps/common/Combat Mission Battle for Normandy/data/z
Note: I am using Combat Mission Battle for Normandy as an example. You might have CMBN, CMRT, CMFI, etc, or an other title name that you decided to use.
(b) Non-Steam Version: Drivename or number/your game name/data/z
Mine looks like this - Games (E:)/CMBN/Data/z
