Hey, that's not a stupid question. 
It took me a while to figure it out myself when I needed to change it.

Open the povray.ini file, which is in the renderer directory I think,
but not sure whic directory. Anyway, open povray.ini in notepad (or
other text editor) and change the line (or add it if there is none)
+Oc:\povwin\images
(or Output File=)
Or whatever directory you choose. Or delete the line (or comment out)
for output to the input file's directory)
Hope it helps.
