You shouldn't be storing any modifiable configuration information under 
C:\Program Files.  That's for, you know, program files. ;-)

You are. You just don't know it.

I don't know that's relevant to the problem you're seeing here.

I don't know what that sentence means. Which "command line"? You mean 
invoking POV-Ray's render engine with command-line arguments? I don't 
know.  I would doubt it, somehow, unless perhaps it's trying to write 
into the program-files directory as it renders or something.

Just be aware that Vista is different from previous versions in that 
respect, because no matter how hard Microsoft tried to get people to 
treat it as a secure multi-user platform, they refused for various 
reasons. :-)
