Thanks! Actually, I've managed to find an answer myself soon after posting
my request. It can be done by editing the registry key

HKLM/Software/Classes/POV-Ray.Scene/shell/open/command

by replacing the switch /EDIT with /RENDER

To ensure HyperChem's HCRay *.pov syntax compatibility (language version
3.0), a line "version=3.0" should be added in povray.ini file.
