You need to edit the "povray.ini" file. Open it on notepad and scroll to
the end.
Here, add a new line:
Library_path="<path to your bitmap source>"
You can also add a default output folder for your images like this (same
file):
Output_file_Name="<some path>\images\"
If you do, you also need to add this line in pvengine.ini in the \ini
folder in the [Permitted Output Paths] section:
3="<some path>\images\"
both should be the same.

Actually, this is wrong. You need to edit the scene specific INI file, not
the global INI file. The shortcut is to add the dirs on the command-line.
Either way, editing povray.ini is wrong.

It's not wrong if the directories in question are generic bitmap
directories used to store bitmaps for many scenes. That is, the
directories are a generic repository for widely-used bitmaps.
Naturally if the bitmaps are just for one single scene, the
include paths are better added for that scene alone.
However, without knowing the specifics, it's hard to know which
approach is better.
