Hi all,

I don't know if povray.general is still alive, but I'll try here first.

I just got a new machine. and have reinstalled Povray on my D: drive. 
I updated pvengine.ini to put my data on my E: drive.
Also moved the ...MyDocuments POV-Ray folder to my E: drive so that POV could find
all the includes, scenes, etc there.
At least I tried to. POV insisted on creating a new POV-Ray folder in My Documents
and complains when it doesn't find Povray.ini there.

Is there any way to totally remove the C: footprint for POV? I don't want app data on
C:. I can't find anywhere to give it an alternate location for povray.ini.

Not sure I get the concept of providing the facility to specify the install
directory, but then only using if for half the install.

This is Windows 7, 64bit. I doesn't appear to have the "Start In" facility in the app
properties anymore.

Coincidentally (or maybe not). Pov will also not find any help files, even though the
Help forlder exists in the install location on D: and is populated.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Les
