Guess he kind of figured that though ;)
I didn't know POV-Ray would find any Images folder it found to use as
the output directory. I already had a C:\Images when I first installed
the Windows version so it never occured to me how it did the search, I
just thought it also looked to make the same name as an option and since
it existed I said use the same.
Curious it would find a subdirectory like in your case and suggest it.
