I have experimented this morning David and it appears that somehow I 
have created a new default document.

This does work as you say it should with the exception that OP does 
not ask me for confirmation either on creating or deleting an 
autolink.

You are right David and I aologise for wasting your time, if I had 
thought about it logically I should have looked at my default document 
first and as you rightly said I have somehow managed to save a 
different one - I have been changing some master pages lately in 
documents and I guess I must have clicked on save as default without 
realising it.

Thanks for the replies.

For your info, in case anyone else experiences it, I have been getting 
more than normal crashes with OP lately but have narrowed it down to 
realising that it only hapens after I have used !SiteMatch and !FTPc 
so they are somehow clashing with OP - not a problem when you know as 
I just reset the machine every time after I have updated mny website.
