Based on my method above it appears important to mention: With the method I describe I activate/deactivate add on scenery as needed based on where I am flying. I do not leave it all activated. It has long been my understanding that if the folders were higher, i.e.  in c:\fsx\Addon Scenery, they would not show up individually in the Scenery Library and would always be loaded.  The method above works perfectly for me for selective activation.  And done that way it is easy to confirm activation, airport or area by airport by area. That would appear to satisfy the OP's question.

 

If the sceneries each show up individually in the Scenery Library if positioned one level higher, such as you can see with LatinVFR as per Bert's comment, then I have learned something new, but not something that makes any difference to my method. My method works without exception.  I can post screen shots of Scenery Library to confirm.

Did a bit of experimenting and found that via both methods they show up individually in Scenery Library.  So the result appears to be the same.

I was having a lot of problems with stuttering (my computer, not me) and also with frequent FSX freeze-ups.  The typical fixes, such as turning down autogen and scenery complexity settings in FSX, helped.  But the stuttering/freezing problems continued.  However, when I tried deactivating (unchecking) in the FSX Scenery Library the numerous add-on sceneries that I wasn't using in a particular flight, only leaving activated the sceneries that I needed for that particular flight, the stutters and freezes were completely ELIMINATED.  Based on my experience, deactivating unused add-on sceneries appears to be very important.
