All what crap - name the specific registry keys. Looking in my registry, I find the following keys, which are created by the Microsoft Trusted Installer
At HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\calibre 64bit I have: desktop_shortcut_installed, start_menu_shortcuts_installed, and system_path_updated, each with a value of 1.
At HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\calibre 64bit\Installer where I have InstallPath with a value of C:\Program Files\Calibre2\
At HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\App Paths\ I have keys for calibre.exe, calibre-complete.exe . . . and ebook-viewer.exe each of which has a (Default) of the executable name e.g. calibre.exe, and a Path which has a value of C:\Program Files\Calibre2\
The only other calibre entries are those
I created for the epub file type which has ebook_viewer.exe and ebook_editor.exe in its Open With list.
If you don't want the Windows Trusted Installer to create calibre related registry 'crap' don't install calibre, use the Portable version instead.
Calibre has approximately 2.5 million active Windows users (see
Usage Statistics), and you're the only one we know of with this problem. This SpiderOak related post maybe of interest ==>>
