@Teeny - if you are using Windows 7/8/10

First you need to create a Windows Library, which we'll name 'Ebooks' - you do that from Windows Explorer, so do a Start-Documents or Win+E to bring up a fresh WinExp window.

in the Navigation panel (left) you should see Libraries, right click it, select New, type 'Ebooks';
under Libraries you should now see something like Documents, Ebooks, Music, Pictures and Videos
navigate to the folder (in the navigation panel) where you have all your books, right click it and select Include in Library->Ebooks;
navigate back to Libraries->Ebooks and you'll see your folder structure in the centre (main) panel;
right click in white space in the centre panel and select Arrange By->Type, you should see something like this (the blue folders are 'virtual folders);
Now open the virtual folder for MOBI files, select all the files and drag them over to calibre and drop them into the book list.
