Now whenever I first start Calibre, it defaults to the Calibre Library. So I use the arrow on the Library icon on my toolbar, it shows me this:

Switch/Create Library
Quick Switch ->
Rename Library ->
Remove Library ->
Pick a Random Book
Section V - Roleplaying (The library I'm trying to get to open by default)
Library Maintenance ->

I already knew I could switch my libraries through that. What I'm trying to address is why Calibre has to open "Calibre Library" by default, and why can't I make it reopen the one I was using, and subsequently my only library for the time being.
1)Calibre does not support 'Nested' Libraries.
Calibre Library/My Library << = Nested
The additional Libraries have to be on a separate path
Calibre Library
My Library

2) If you were viewing Section V... That should be you default next Calibre Launch (can't be on a Removed, removable drive. Calibre reverts if not assessable or s really slow to be ready )

The only other possible gottcha is you don't have full (Write) access to the 'Calibre Configuration' directory/files (preference Misc has a button to take you there). I would expect this one would rear up in many other uses of Calibre.
