Loose Files refers to versions of files in the .bsas that are in the Game Data/Textures/ or Game Data/Meshes/ or etc directories that are meant to override the original versions in the .bsas. Hence "loose". They introduced that option in Fallout, but it was on by default in Morrowind and Oblivion

No, I just had the one section

Small problem -- when I did the above, Data Files finally worked. But when I check off "Load Loose Files" and press okay, it gets unselected the next time I click Data Files. If I check it off and run the game, it clearly hasn't worked. Is there an ini value to make it load loose files? I want it to work bad enough that I might reinstall Oblivion (loaded loose files by default IIRC) or Fallout 3 (the loose files option never went unchecked) just to trawl through their ini files and see if they kept the command the same... Couldn't find one in Morrowind, which I still have installed
