I fixed the path in the command under

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\povfile\shell\Open\command

but I cannot delete the entry

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pov\UserChoice

I can edit this entry, but what should I write in it?

My computer also executes the Render command in pvengine.exe by double-clicking
on a .pov-file.
