Setting up the computer to log in on boot means leaving it logged in when no one is present, and that's a huge security weakness. And it assumes that there is only userid on the computer.
If my wife or kids need to use the machine, they either need to use the same login, which defeats the whole purpose of having separate logins, or they logout and log in as a different user, which shuts down Calibre.
Unless, of course, you put Calibre in the all-users startup folder, in which case it will start up no matter which user logs in. But then, it will try to run multiple copies, when multiple users are logged in simultaneously, which many versions of Windows support.
Face it. Calibre-server is a better tool for configuring 24×7 access to a Calibre library than the GUI.
