| This is not the case for me. Pov-Ray is closed when I doubleclick the file

| Bad option syntax or error opening .INI/.DEF file 'Patch.pov'
| A tab for a new file is opened with the title 'Bic'

  Apparently, for some reason that goes beyond me, povray seems to look for
spaces into the parameters and then split the parameters.
  I wonder why.

Thanks Bob, this lead me to the solution:

Wups, right you are, I should have looked first:

"C:\Program Files\POV-Ray for Windows v3.1\BIN\PVENGINE.EXE" /EDIT "%1"

/EDIT being the only unquoted thing.
