In Calibre I find my books if I choose this Library (D:\E-Books\Calibre). But after opening Calibre is as standard opened the Calibre Library under the program folder of Calibre Portable. My wish is to go automatically to my folder, without the indirection over choosing the library.
@WoSch - why do you want the library to be located outside the Calibre Portable folder?

The reason to put the library inside the Calibre Portable folder is that by doing so the software is no longer subject to the vagaries of Windows drive letter assignment - it can use paths that are relative to its location.

Otherwise the only way I can re-suggest is to put a symbolic link with a relative destination path into the Calibre Portable folder- but understand that a move or rename of the destination will break the symbolic link.

@eschwartz - does PA still do a Portable Calibre, couldn't see it in their directory. Sigil's there, but it's a bit long in the tooth.
