I'm using linux, and in my equivelant of the ini file I have a setting
Output_to_File=true I'm sure that you have the same sort of thing over
there that you can put in your povray.ini file and set to false.   
Just try the pasting the keyword from above and see if it works.  And 
then there's always the good old documentation which comes with POV and
if that fails you your question may be answered in Warp's VFAQ at: 

http://iki.fi/warp/povVFAQ/ 
 
I'm sure a windows bod will be along in a minute and give you a better 
answer than myself.
