I have exactly the same question - the installer of POV-ray 3.7 (and perhaps
3.6.2 as well, I'm not sure) puts every "user editable" files into "My
Document". It seems that the %INSTALLDIR% variable is now automatically set to
c:\my documents\povray. How is it possible to override? Although during the
installation there is an option to install the program itself wherever the user
wants to, there's no possibility to change the default place of other files.
