See the thread "Mod directory" posted by me. Here is the nuts and bolts of it:

4. adjust the path.txt file to reference the new directory
If I don't want to mess with the race files or AI files I am done at that point?

Basically, if you want to edit the the components.txt file you have to create a new directory, copy the DATA directory into it, edit the file and set the path.txt file to point to the new directory.
You end up with c:\space empires IV\my mod\data\ with your path.txt pointing to my mod
