Thank you for the guidance on locating the *.ini file and explaining what to
look for within it. I'll open it in a text editor and check the path to the
*.pov file as you suggested.

Also, you're absolutely right about the use of the admin account. I appreciate
the heads-up on security best practices. I'll definitely switch to a regular
account for normal operations to minimize potential risks.
