To make it even easier for users, you can create a "batch file".

Go to Start -> Run

Type "notepad" in the Run box.

Notepad will open. Paste two lines of code:

First is the pathname to the calibredbxtract bin folder. The easiest way to do this is to copy and paste the path from the address line in a windows explorer window.

If you've placed it in the c:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibredbxtract then the first line of code will be
c:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibredbxtract\bin

The next line of code is where your Calibre library is calibredbxtract.bat +

c:\Documents and Settings\Username\Dropbox\Public\secretname\

Again, there should be two lines of code in your file that look something like this:

cd C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibredbxtract\bin

calibredbxtract.bat C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\My Dropbox\Public\secretfoldername


Save as "catalogmaker.bat" or something. Has to end with bat.

This creates an executable file and all you have to do is double click on the file to run the command to create your catalogs.
