The Windows version is not meant to run from the command line alone.
You can add a /minimized switch to start it minimized.

You can add "-d" to suppress the display window.
If you never want the display window, you can add this to povray.ini on a 
separate line.

To output as PNG, add "+fn" to the command line.

To always output as PNG, add "+fn" to povray.ini. You can add this alone on any 
line.
Easy way to do it: In the menu line, look for "Tools" and select "Edid master 
POVRAY.INI"

You can set the image resolution to any size and proportion you want. Don't 
forget to also set the camera aspect ratio acordingly if you use an aspect ratio 
other than 4:3. If you regularly use particular resolutions and some other 
settings, you can add them to the "quickres.ini" file.
