I've only had this happen in XP, once.  Somehow the system had gotten confused, and 
mouse and keyboard were behaving badly, including the issue you are describing.  
A reboot fixed it.

The only way I can get Vista to do this is by selecting the "use checkboxes" from 
the Organize/ Folder and Search Options/ View menu, then actually using the checkbox.
