There are two ways to set the option, one is to use "Output_File_Type="
and the other is to use "+F", but you're trying to use both at once. So
either use
        Output_File_Type=N
or
        +FN

If you just want it for an individual render, type it in the command box
at the top of the GUI window.

If you want it to apply to all the renders from now on, click 
Tools->Edit_master_POVRAY.INI and type it in there.


Note, however, that it won't output JPEGs, or any other lossy format.
This is to protect you from the possibility of performing an extremely
long render and then finding that the output was ruined by jpeg
compression artefacts.
