This is really more appropriate for the Windows group than the POV4 group.

POV-Ray itself is (mostly) OS agnostic.  What you're describing is a 
feature of the Windows version, which has a built-in GUI.  POV itself 
doesn't care about the GUI, as you might notice if you try the versions 
built for other OSs.
