Start POV-Ray minimised, and set to only run one instance, and don't terminate 
it after the first render. You don't need to save the image yourself as POV-Ray 
does it itself. Unless you set it otherwize, the output format under Windows 
default to BMP.
You may first start POV-Ray, dismiss the splash, minimize it, then start your 
application.

Go to Options|Keep Single Instance and make sure it's checked.
