@chaley: The security settings are identical across all my drives. I only use one user ID on my PC.
Check Library tells me that there are no errors in the Calibre data base. there are 12 errors, see below:

Missing book formats,A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Co (5487),Samuel Longhorn Clemens\A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Co (5487)\A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Co - Samuel Longhorn Clemens.epub

Extra book formats,The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe_ Re (4134),Claudia Dutcher Tillman\The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe_ Re (4134)\The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe_ - Claudia Dutcher Tillman.pdb

Extra book formats,The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe_ Re (4134),Claudia Dutcher Tillman\The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe_ Re (4134)\The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe_ - Claudia Dutcher Tillman.epub

Extra book formats,The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe_ Re (4134),Claudia Dutcher Tillman\The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe_ Re (4134)\The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe_ - Claudia Dutcher Tillman.pdf

Extra book formats,Plague From Space (1229),Harry Harrison\Plague From Space (1229)\Copy (1)Plague From Space - Harry Harrison.rtf

Missing covers files,A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Co (5487),Samuel Longhorn Clemens\A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Co (5487)\A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Co (5487)\cover.jpg

Cover files not in database,Dragondrums (2187),Anne McCaffrey\Dragondrums (2187)\Dragondrums (2187)\cover.jpg

Cover files not in database,Dragonquest (2189),Anne McCaffrey\Dragonquest (2189)\Dragonquest (2189)\cover.jpg

Cover files not in database,Dragonsinger (2193),Anne McCaffrey\Dragonsinger (2193)\Dragonsinger (2193)\cover.jpg

Cover files not in database,Dragonsong (2196),Anne McCaffrey\Dragonsong (2196)\Dragonsong (2196)\cover.jpg

Cover files not in database,The Great Train Robbery (2201),Michael Crichton\The Great Train Robbery (2201)\The Great Train Robbery (2201)\cover.jpg

Cover files not in database,Red Planet (2198),Robert A. Heinlein\Red Planet (2198)\Red Planet (2198)\cover.jpg

As both versions of the database are showing the same list of books - it's only Windows Explorer that appears to have lost the plot, because it doesn't list all the authors and books that the Library does (by an estimated 450 books), I wouldn't expect too much drama in the library maintenance area. I suspect, but am open to contradiction, that the "extra format" is where I've used the delete key to delete an entry, instead of using the Remove Books" command
