I know what you mean. At least POVRay doesn't install a hidden run command
to run when the system starts in your registry where only experienced users
can remove it.  I often find myself weeding through autoexec.bat, win.ini,
system.ini, registry, etc. to find out where the h*** the program has
inserted it's run command.

Or maybe this should be a feature request ;)
