As expected, disabling the Kobo Touch driver puts the Kobo eReader in the list of disabled device drivers in the Calibre preferences. Is that why the Kobo Clara HD only works by clicking "connect" and using the Folder Device Interface? This is now the only way for me to mount the device in Calibre.
That is expected. Disabling the KoboTouch driver means that calibre is not looking for the device and will not do anything when it is connected. The Folder Device Interface needs to be setup and started when you want to use the folder as a device. I think there is a way to have it connect automatically, but, beyond some basic testing, I don't use it.

Or is there a way to switch between the Folder Device Interface and the User Defined USB Driver or enable the User Defined USB Driver? I used the parameters above but the device fails to mount automatically when I connect via USB.
My apologies, it's been a while since I tested this, and I copied the wrong product ID. The product ID I gave you above is from the Libra H2O. The correct values for the Clara HD (and I tested this time) are:

USB Vendor ID: 0x2237
USB Product ID: 0x4228
USB Revision ID: 0x401
