Thanks, Kovid! I checked that variable. It looks like it's already pointing to the right location (see attachment). Are there any other places or variables to check? Or maybe a file I can check to see if it's pointing to D: somewhere?

I guess one other possibility I just thought of. My library is at '<me>\OneDrive\Calibre Library'. Could it be that the laptop is restarting too soon after Calibre closes and before the main metadata.db has a chance to sync? Since there are no current updates requiring computer restarts, I'll leave it on with Calibre closed down and wait to see if OneDrive completes a sync of the folder. Just in case.

RESULT: Dang it. I closed Calibre, then made sure OneDrive had completely sync'd my files, then rebooted. Calibre launches pointing at D: still. Dang it. So that didn't do it. :'(
