The Auto-Render setting under the Render file menu is for the File Queue (see
1.5.7.6 in the docs)

Assuming you are using windows (likely), it sounds like it is just your file
association.

When you left click on the file there should be 2 options with one in bold:

Edit with in POV-Ray
Render with POV-Ray

the bolded one is the default and it sound like it's set to render.

If you don't know how to change this:
In Windows Explorer, go to the menu item [Tools/Folder Options...]
In the "File Types" tab, find POV extension, click "Advanced"
Select the "Edit in POV-Ray" action and click "set default"
Done!, click OK
