Most MTW mods will overwrite the original files. To combat this you can do one of two things, set up another install of MTW (so you have two MTW's) or use a mod enabler, I use the JoneSoft Generic Mod Enabler. What does it do? It lets you switch from one mod to another whilst never actually overwriting the original files. It can be tricky to use and slow when you're switching large mods (like BKB's and XL) but for small mods it works a treat.
I recommend setting up a second install of MTW for BKB's, mainly because the mod enabler is very slow, and you can accidentally overwrite your original MTW when you're install a mod. Also soon your saved games get cluttered up (for example I have a spanish save from 1700's as well as a spanish save from 1250's). So I highly recommend a second install unless you don't have much space on your hard-drive.
To set up a second install simply open up your folder where MTW and copy/paste it. Only thing is, if you've got XL installed on it you'll need to re-install MTW from the disc as well as VI and the patch (unless you happen to have gold edition).
If you still want to use the mod enabler, I recommend it for small mods, click here and download the first product on the left. It's got instructions on how to use it there I think.. but you can take it from there, if you can't set up the mod enabler properly just ask.
