I can only start Calibre by clicking on the ikon on my startpage.
@Philipstelvio
  1. click Start button
  2. in search box type notepad
  3. you should see Notepad.exe at top of results list - double click it
  4. Easiest way to get the path to a library folder is to use Windows Explorer (that's the file manager not the internet browser). Windows-key+e will start Windows Explorer.
  5. Browse to the location of the required library folder
  6. Shift+right click the required library folder
  7. Select Copy as Path. That will put its path into the clipboard
  8. Go back to the Notepad window
  9. Type calibre --with-library (nb: there's a space on the end)
  10. Paste the clipboard (ctrl+v)
  11. you should see something like this

    Code:
    calibre --with-library "C:\Users\<your windows user id>\Documents\Main Library"
  12. Save the file from notepad to your desktop with a file name something like CalibreMain.bat
  13. Close Notepad
  14. Double click the CalibreMain.bat icon (it will be a gear wheel icon)
Calibre should start with the required library
