that is what i thought and yes I can sync once then reset it.

but the slicker/ more aesthetic solution ( for which i need a hint) is: within free file sync I can set the mirroring function to exclude a specific file when I sync a folder. so I could exclude the one thing somewhere in the app data folder that holds the last used library location - if I knew what that file was called ?

or I junction it like so
mklink /j C:/users/xxx/documents/"calibre library" D:/"calibre library"
[ the mklink source folder has to not exist so I first delete the empty calibre library folder in my docs then do that, then sync into it ]
from memory - one advantage of doing this for music libraries is that playlists copy over Ok even when the library is not really on the C drive

my how-to-do-it notes ( which i used for my music libraries ) say
admin command prompt
mklink /J from-directory to-directory
the from-directory should NOT exist
the to-directory should already exist
If your path has any spaces in it, you need to place quotes around it
