Is anyone else having this problem?

@readin - Are you sure calibre created .LNK files in version 2.57.1

I just tried it here - dragging a folder to book details doesn't create a .LNK for me - in calibre 2.52 (portable), 2.57.1 (32 bit) or 2.58 (64 bit) - it does nothing.

If I want a folder (or file) shortcut in calibre, I create it on the desktop via right click New->Shortcut, drag the resultant .LNK file into the book details, and then delete the .LNK file from the desktop.

Of course I might have missed something - tweak, env var
