On to happier news and Kaburke has just informed me he's put up version 0.12.6 of the Nexus Mod Manager which will contain more fixes and tweaks for users of the software.
And something really cool, Nexus user Gopher has added a really great introductory video to YouTube that brilliantly explains what NMM is, what it does, how it works and why you should be using it. It's brilliantly done and I'd recommend it if you're new to the modding scene here, don't understand why you'd need NMM or are just completely clueless! Thanks Gopher.

So create a ZIP file with the files in the folder, then point NMM at the ZIP file.
It lets you manage load order via the green up/down arrows on the left side of the Plugins tab. Also, I would recommend BOSS as a companion to this.
Also, they're allowing anyone to file bug reports in the beta test forum, so people should take advantage of that to help make it better.
