SOLVED: Very Curious: What *exactly* tags a mod as "loaded"

[astr0wiz]

I thought I was a Google master, but I cannot find the keywords to locate the information on what is precisely done to tag a mod as loaded. It it a bit switch? Entry in a table? Date change?

I'm very curious, because I would like to work on a smart load script..possibly in conjunction with OBMM.

**EDIT:

I found it. Instead of searching online, I grabbed the source code for OBMM and reverse-engineered its activation process. Apparently, Bethesda keeps a file called plugins.txt in your user profile under AppData\Local\oblivion. It also looks like the order of the plugins in this text file determines load order.

Not sure what sets a plugin tagged as being loaded, but the load order is simply based on the time stamps. As you can see in plugin.txt, the plugins are in alphabetical order there rather then in load order.
