While adding files I'm getting files I don't want added.

I've been playing with the 'File' setting under 'Setup Achitecture' and I seem to be getting a bit of an echo. There are two files I was using earlier in my testing that continue to insist on loading each time I 'add file(s)'. I don't just get the file or files I selected I also get these two files each and ever single time. It doesn't matter what folder I'm in or under which feature it just keeps happening. What did I do to cause this?

I was evaluating the different ways you can build an installation by adding general files to a folder compiling, running the install, and then uninstalling the program. When I started playing with building a patch, I noticed that when I went to add some new files to a folder two files from one of the earlier installs (clock.avi and _default.pif) were copying themselves into that folder as well. It did not matter if I selected one or multiple files these two files would insert themselves into the folder as well. I just do not understand why these files would act as if I had selected them for the folder when I did not even click on their filenames.

I did manage to get this to stop but only after closing and reopening Installaware.

Managed to accidentally reproduce the error but I'll be darned how I did it. I was just selecting files and transfering them around when all of a sudden the 'Add Files' button continued to stay bold even though I had unselected my last selection. Closing the application and reopening seems to fix the issue.
