And I have always done the opposite - since Burroughs MCP at least - that's why I don't use Windows Obscurer as a file manager.

The OP did exactly as you asked him/her to do "Use the OS to search for 'metadata.db.

That batch file is riddled with string "metadata.db" eg :-

Code:
IF EXIST %cd%\CalibreMetadata\metadata.db (
	IF NOT "%CALIBRE_LIBRARY_DIRECTORY%" == "%cd%\CalibreMetadata" (
		SET CALIBRE_OVERRIDE_DATABASE_PATH=%cd%\CalibreMetadata\metadata.db
		ECHO DATABASE:           %cd%\CalibreMetadata\metadata.db
		ECHO '
		ECHO ***CAUTION*** Library Switching will be disabled 
		ECHO '
	)
)
Windows hasn't had a decent file finder since that silly dog showed up. I'm still using Locate 32.
