So this is the problem in my sister's laptop and I couldn't figure out what's causing it. The laptop behaves as if the Page up button is being pressed continuously even though it isn't pressed. Here are 3 examples to illustrate:
- When at desktop the first icon gets always selected regardless of wherever I click
- Opening my computer (Folder 6) gets selected wherever I click
- Opening Local disk E, the first folder gets selected even if i click on other folders. Only the first folder opens when i try to open other folders and I couldn't scroll down since the selection runs back to the first folder.

I went ahead and fixed your formatting, in the future please take the time to do that yourself, and I inlined the two screenshots you actually included in your question.

You can't inline screenshots until a certain amount of reptuation, my comment was more about the other formatting, that you could have done yourself.

You have to go to registry editor by clicking run --> regedit.
In regedit, go to the following registry entry:
HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced
In advanced option select registry name 'Autocheckselect'; select the key and change its value from 0 to 1.
Note: this is tested only for Windows 8. Other versions can have different registry keys.
