ugh, I just read what I wrote (before you posted) that and had the following thoughts

1) There is a difference between "copy" and paste verses "cut" and paste. If you copy and paste to your new folder C:\IL2 1946, you will still have the game files in the STEAM folder. That is fine if for some reason you want to keep it as a backup or starting point to fall back to in case you have to do a re-install of the game for some reason. On the other hand, if you are hurting for hard drive space, you may want to do a cut and paste instead so you only have one copy of the game on your hard drive. It's up to you.

2) Your desktop shortcut to the il2fb.exe will have to be fixed so it points to the version you are patching up, not the STEAM version. You can do this two ways. Either delete the old shortcut and create a new shortcut, or go in and fix the old shortcut to point to the new shortcut. If you don't do this, every time you start the game from the shortcut, the STEAM version will execute and you don't want to do that
