Once you've installed calibre, in the Windows Open With select another program option, browse to the directory where calibre is installed, select ebook-viewer.exe and make it the default program for epubs.BR
This seems to have worked. I uninstalled Calibre, did all those things with the registry and installed Portable and now when I click on any of my books, which I keep in my own folders organized by topics and sub-topics (for reasons of convenience mentioned above) it opens and the library does not open. If I want the library I have to go to the Portable folder and click on calibre-portable.exe and if I want it to have books I have to add them manually. Which is fine since I seldom use the library; I put a shortcut to calibre-portable.exe in the start menu.

Guess I should give it a few days to make sure no glitches crop up but as of now this is exactly what I wanted - thank you.
