I've just installed POVRay for Windows on a computer for which I don't have
administrative privileges. I needed to make some quick demos and it's
worked fine for that. I notice, though, that even after saving a file, the
color syntax hilighting doesn't kick in. I'm guessing that this is due to
being unable to install some .dll files or something? (I don't know jack
about Windows, but I'm picking up bits and pieces -- know what they say
about "a little knowledge.")
No big deal, just curious.
Also, anything else I should be warned of? (Especially, anything I should
uninstall besides dragging the folder to the trash, when I have to
relinquish the machine in a few weeks? I don't know whether the regular
user would be into POVRay -- some people are just strange that way.)

It's just a small aestetic bug. When you save a new scene file, the editor don't know
it's format.
You need to use "Save as..." to immediately get the colour hilighting.
You can just delete the POV Ray folder and any shortcut made. There will be some
registry entries
left like file association and a few paths. There are NO other files installed
anywhere else on the
computer.
