And not sure what Thatchers rule is (Margaret Thatcher rule of what's right??), but I guess I figure if Kovid the developer/writer of the software can't figure it out, chances are it's not worth the time to fix given the situation. Practical choice I guess. Thanks again for your help though guys.
So far you are the only one reporting

I agree, a simple example of how to use would help basic level computer users

You can use a BAT (windows) file to set the ENVIRONMENT and run Calibre

Code:
set CALIBRE_NO_NATIVE_FILEDIALOGS=1
calibre

(AFAIK there needs to be a Value associated with each variable. You remove the variable from the system simply by using its name: set CALIBRE_NO_NATIVE_FILEDIALOGS)
