You should read the documentation about ini file settings. You can put
the proper setting in the master povray.ini file (which can be edited
from the tools menu).

  Anyways, I personally don't like file output by default. 99% of my
renders are test renders, not final renders. Thus, saving the image to
a file is just a waste of resources (if nothing else, it consumes disk space).
Also, your disk gets filled of images when you render this and that (eg.
just to see how does it look like, eg. when rendering the example scenes
which come with povray).
  Thus I have the "-f" option in my povray.ini, which means that no image
file is written to disk.

  When I do want to create the image file (eg. for the final render), I
put "+fn" (which means "output to a png file") in the command-line field
of the winpov editor.
