Hi, Had the problem of persistent crashing of POVRAY during startup.
Probably also a deleted folder problem. Reinstalled POVRAY -> no effect.
Deleted all (to be sure) keys containing file paths in registry (exact
location below) -> now everything o.k.

Apparently it is necessary to close all open files in the Editor before
changing their location!

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/POV_Ray/v3.6/POV-Edit/open

-EH
