   There is an option during the installation process where you are
 given a choice of where images are written to. I believe the choices
 are in the directory where your .pov file resides or optionaly a single
 image directory or your designation which pov will then add all images
 to. The default is to place them where the individual .pov files are.
 I presumed you choose the non default option and missed the importance
 of it at the time of the installation.
