Dead easy... You're looking at a serialized tree; the "code" you mention is actually a node ID of that node's parent, and node id's are assigned incrementally as new folders are seen. eg:
1 ROOT code = 1,0 (1 - meaningless) 2 BIN code = 1 (means it's under ROOT) 3 HELP code = 1 (under ROOT) 4 SETUP code = 1 (under ROOT) 5 IMAGES = 3 (under HELP) 6 BASE = 4 (under SETUP) 7 DIRECTX = 4 (under SETUP) 8 GAMESPY = 4 (under SETUP) 9 TOOLKIT = 4 (under SETUP) 10 VIDEO = 6 (under BASE) 11 DRIVERS = 7 (under DIRECTX) 12 ENG = 11 (under DRIVERS) 13 FRN = 11 (under DRIVERS) 14 GER = 11 (under DRIVERS) 15 ITN = 11 (under DRIVERS) 16 SPA = 11 (under DRIVERS) Peculiarly, it's serialized in terms of distance from the root, rather than on a branch-by-branch basis. Though this shouldn't matter; what it does mean is that you'll pretty much always have to rebuild the ENTIRE tree to read a folder. Scary, huh? Oh yeah... names are padded in size to be at an even number of bytes long - which is where the extra null comes from.

There must be some sort of structure in it! I've included one example of a pathtable. Hoping someone can help me. Greetz, Martijn Groen
