Using Arma 2 mods the simple way

[ParaGraphic L]

The reasons I don't recommend this method to my friends:
...
2. If one of the mods you activate have a problem that prevents the game from loading, you will need to have some good knowledge how to edit the ini file to get rid of it, since you can't start the game to disable the mod that is preventing the game from starting.
...

Although I obviously am not going to recommend going with the vanilla mod manager (see signature)

You can go to your "X:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\ArmA 2" folder and open the ArmAOA.cfg file with notepad. Remove everything that's part of "ModLauncherList { }" should clear all selected mods and start Vanilla for you on next go.

I use the expansions option, very easy... What would be cool is if you could deactivate/reactivate multiple mods with one or two clicks? Or even a select all option.

As I have probably over 20 mods in my arma directory and always 12 activated at anytime, but it's a hassle to deactivate and reactivate one at a time each time I want to go online... I have to write down what mods I had activated before deactivating.

But yes it's a whole lot easier than the command line and I guess I could keep the directory clean and only have mods I use in there

Agreed

This method doesn't completely uninstall the mods?

I haven't tried ARMA 2 launcher yet but i think withSIX is quite good. Though i can't remove all mods through it if i want to uninstall them. But withSIX makes everything easier. I can't understand why one would play around with presets when withSIX makes everything so much easier.
